(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/26/2018 12:27 PM EDT The Mexican culture is steeped in rich tradition and ceremony and offers its people a sense of community and belonging. The music, food and holidays are unique and distinctive and give the country its long history. Therefore, it is no surprise that Disney and Pixar teamed up to create a magical animated tale encompassing these factors. ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2018 8:32 AM EDT We have all heard the saying "kids can be cruel". This is especially true for middle school-aged children. They make fun of any little difference anyone displays and bully each other relentlessly. So imagine being a nine-year-old boy with facial deformities who was previously homeschooled stepping out into the world of m... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 1/23/2018 9:22 AM EDT In October of 2004, a little unknown film entitled Saw, by then unknown writer/director James Wan (Furious 7) and writer Leigh Whannell, rewrote the modern slasher horror film and created a new modern horror killer, Jigsaw (Tobin Bell; The Flash). It went on to spawn many sequels before it's "finale" in 2010... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/16/2018 4:40 PM EDT With the success of 2014's The Lego Movie and 2017's The Lego Batman Movie, Warner Bros. decided to continue the franchise and created a film based on the popular Lego Ninjago toy line called, appropriately, The Lego Ninjago Movie. I must admit that after having enjoyed the first two films very much and finding them surprisingly funny and delightfu... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/15/2018 4:00 PM EDT In 1982, Ridley Scott (Alien) gave us a highly stylized movie called Blade Runner. It was set in the future and starred Harrison Ford (Star Wars: Episode IV -A New Hope). Thirty-five Years later, Director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) gives us the sequel, Blade Runner 2049. It continues the story of the ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 1/11/2018 11:23 AM EDT In 1986 a young Stephen King published one of his most ambitious books yet entitled simply It. The novel tells the tale of an alien entity that haunts the fictional town of Derry, Maine, and feeds on its inhabits. In early 1990s ABC gave Pennywise his first appearances on film in a made for tv miniseries. Now 37 years later Warner Bros. gives Penny... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/8/2018 9:08 AM EDT With the success of Christopher Nolan's (Dunkirk) reimagined version of Batman in 2005's Batman Begins Warner Bros. decided to green light his second installment, The Dark Knight, which was released 3 years later. Once again Christian Bale (American Psycho) reprised his role as Bruce Wayne though this time we see a more mature and collected c... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/3/2018 11:44 AM EDT Since the Late 1980s Batman has gone through a number of iterations and in 2005 Director Christopher Nolan (Inception) got a crack at telling the story. His version, Batman Begins, was different from past attempts and was so well received that he was given the opportunity to continue his tale two more times, once in 2008 and again in 2012.&nb...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 10:04 AM EDT American Made is based on the true story of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise; Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation). It's a fascinating tale of drugs, greed, guns and wealth that involves the governments of a number of countries including the United States. It chronicles Barry's life as he "worked the system" while getting involved ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 8:57 AM EDT If you look up the word inception in the dictionary, you will find this meaning - an act, process, or instance of beginning: commencement. However, for director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night) it means something slightly different. In 2010, he took that concept and applied it to one's subconscious mind and people's drea...
