Cop Car

(Nathan M Rose) 9/29/2015 10:46 AM EST
Director Kevin Smith once said that the golden age of independent films has left us, and what we are left with is just big studio films created by a committee. Most days, I hold to these truths. However, once in a while, a film comes along that throws caution to the wind and surprises you.Cop Car, written and directed by Jon Watts (director of the ... Read More

Entourage

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/28/2015 11:38 AM EST
I'm not sure why studios think it's a good idea to take every successful TV show and make it into a feature film.

While Entourage: The Movi... Read More

Sleepy Hollow: The Complete Second Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/24/2015 11:43 AM EST
I love history, especially legends and folk lore, so I was excited when Sleepy Hollow came to television in 2013. The basic premise was interesting and, of course, centered around the tiny town in upstate New York and the antagonist, the Headless Horseman. That first season laid the foundation for an apocalyptic battle of biblical proportions... Read More

The Intern

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/24/2015 10:26 AM EST
Robert DeNiro (Limitless) is the consummate actor. Throw any part at him and he will make it his own; a chameleon of immense proportions unmatched by most actors today. In his latest role as 70-year-old Ben Whittaker, he plays the gentleman businessman who needs something to do in retirement.When "About the Fit" Cyber Company ... Read More
