Dumb And Dumber To

(Nathan M Rose) 2/19/2015 10:25 PM EDT
Lets get this out the way first Dumb and Dumber To is …well….dumb, I mean REALLY dumb. However, if you are familiar with the original Farrelly Brothers film, Dumb and Dumber (1994), you would except this. The story is pretty simplistic. After twenty years of Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey; Ace Ventura, The Mask) pretending to be cat... Read More

Fifty Shades of Grey

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2015 2:07 PM EDT
Ok I admit it…I read the books. Well, I haven't finished the third one yet but I figure I still have time before they make it into a movie. Of course I'm speaking of the fan fiction turned novel turn major motion picture juggernaut that is Fifty Shade of Grey. From the moment the film adaptation was announced t... Read More

The Slap

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/12/2015 4:00 PM EDT
It's true what they say - you can't choose your family. And when that family is Greek and numerous, family get togethers are bound to be loud, and full of tension. The Slap, the new mini-series on NBC is situated around one such family and the scenario that leads to their breakdown. The first episode which airs on Feb... Read More

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/12/2015 1:09 PM EDT
We've all had one of those "Murphy's law" kind of days – anything that can go wrong, will. For Alexander Cooper it seems every day is like that and the day before his 12th birthday is no exception. He wakes up to find everyone in his grade has been invited to the cool kid's party the same day as his, th... Read More

Glee: The Complete Fifth Season

(Sean Ferguson) 2/12/2015 1:04 PM EDT
So I guess I have to start by coming clean. Hi My name is Sean Ferguson and I'm a Glee fan. It's sad and true and no matter how far this series goes off base I continue to watch. It may be because I'm a huge music buff….or maybe it's because when I was in school I was picked on too (though no slushies were ever thrown my way)... Read More

Kingsman: The Secret Service

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/11/2015 12:02 PM EDT
Who doesn't love a good spy movie? Action, adventure, intrigue and great gadgets all blending together to create an enjoyable movie experience. Throw in a strong, seasoned group of actors and you have the makings of a great film. Twentieth Century Fox had attempted to tackle this genre with Kingsman: The Secret Service being... Read More

The Best of Me

(Michelle Koesten) 2/9/2015 12:02 PM EDT
Based on a Nicolas Sparks novel, The Best Of Me is out on Blu-ray and DVD. Having not read any of his books, and only having seen a few of his movies, I didn't know what to expect. A friend did say she threw the book across the room at the end, so I was a little concerned about the ending. While I am a fan of two of its s... Read More

Before I Go To Sleep

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/29/2015 9:42 PM EDT
How would you feel if you woke up every morning not remembering a thing from the previous ten years? Such is the plight of Christine Lucas (Nicole Kidman; Eyes Wide Shut, Batman Forever). Every evening she goes to sleep knowing bits and pieces of her life told her by her husband Ben (Colin Firth; The King's Speech, Kingsman: S... Read More
