Magic Mike XXL

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2015 4:19 PM EST
I'm all for a good road trip to Myrtle Beach for a stripper convention…especially when those strippers include Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), and Matt Bomer (White Collar). Yes, those sexy strippers are back for another round of frivolity and fun in Magic Mike XXL and spend much of the film half naked which, f... Read More

The Strain: Season 1 - The Premium Collector’s Edition

(Nathan M Rose) 6/30/2015 4:06 PM EST
Nowadays, vampire television, films and series are a dime a dozen; but, when someone like director Guillermo del Toro puts his name on something, it causes one to pause and pay attention. Such is the case with The Strain, the new series by FX and Guillermo del Toro, based on the trilogy of books written by del Toro and Chuck Hogan.This ne... Read More

Heading to Blu-ray and DVD on June 30, 2015, The Gunman reminds us that the sins of our past will always come back to haunt us.

Get Hard

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2015 8:32 AM EST
I don't think Will Ferrell (Elf, Anchorman) is funny. Yes, I said it…he isn't funny. I know I'm opening myself up for lots of hate mail with that statement but in my defense I give you exhibit A – Get Hard (coming to Blu-ray and DVD June 30, 2015).Ferrell plays Harvard educated investment Banker James King. He has eve... Read More

Ted 2

(Sean Ferguson) 6/25/2015 8:52 AM EST
When it comes to sequels, not many come up or surpass its original.In fact I'm willing to bet the mad scientist behind Ted 2 could name them in a second. Out this week in theaters, is quite possibly the funniest film of the year. To be perfectly Frank, if I do say so myself, it's the funniest film I've seen in a long time! In... Read More

Inside Out

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/16/2015 11:56 AM EST
The voices in your head are real! They are cute, colorful, and wreak havoc with your emotions. At least that is what Disney and Pixar would like you to believe.Riley is an 11 year old girl who, for the most part, has had a pretty happy life so far. She is a silly, sweet, honest kid with loving parents and good friends. All of this... Read More

Jurassic World

(Nathan M Rose) 6/11/2015 11:58 AM EST
Back in 1993, the way films were made, and viewed, changed forever with Jurassic Park, a Stephen Spielberg (Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) film based on a book by Michael Crichton (Disclosure,Congo). The film blended the use of animatronics, CGI, and an engaging story, with characters you cared about, to become an international success.The succe... Read More

McFarland, USA

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/10/2015 12:38 PM EST
If you've seen Lean On Me or Stand And Deliver, you've pretty much seen McFarland USA. Impoverished students succeeding against the odds; encouraged by their teacher to achieve greatness despite their surroundings. The difference here is merely the location – instead of inner-city ghettos, McFarland,... Read More
