White Collar Season Six

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/12/2015 10:36 PM EST
I had heard a lot of good things about the acclaimed USA Network show White Collar but I had never actually seen it so I wasn't sure what to expect when I dove, head first, in to the final six episodes of the series. Season six, out on DVD today, was short and sweet and apparently tied up a lot of loose ends for fans that have been watchi... Read More

Black or White

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/12/2015 11:37 AM EST
When Black or White came to the FlickDirect office for review I couldn't figure out how I missed a movie starring Kevin Costner (Field of Dreams, Draft Day) and Octavia Spencer (The Help, Insurgent). Two powerhouses headline a film directed by Mike Binder (The Upside of Anger, Reign Over Me), what could be bad? Turns out there is a ... Read More

Cake

Claire Bennett (Jenifer Aniston; Friends, Horrible Bosses) is in a lot of pain. Continual, excruciating pain. Physical pain, mental pain and, most importantly, emotional pain. She doesn't know how to stop the pain; or rather she does, but can't get enough determination together to end her life so she teeters between living a hollo... Read More

The Mentalist: The Complete Seventh Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/28/2015 11:27 AM EST
The award winning series, The Mentalist, ended its seven season run this spring and is out on DVD this week. For fans of the show this short season wraps up the series with a neat little bow. While it remains the same basic formula as past seasons, the "flavor" of the show changed by end of season six and that influence permea... Read More

The Age of Adaline

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2015 4:55 PM EST
From the trailers I decided I wanted to see Age of Adaline. It looked mildly interesting, starred actors I typically liked, and wasn't the same old action adventure, sci-fi or romantic comedy so prevalent in movie theaters today. Unfortunately, I left the theater with a sense of disappointment as Age of Adaline was predictable, un... Read More

The Pyramid

Modern cinema's fascination with ancient Egypt and mummies can be traced back to 1932 and the release of The Mummy from Universal Studios starring Boris Karloff. Now, 20th Century Fox and Silvatar Media release The Pyramid to the world in Digital HD.Taking it's cues from other "found footage" films, the film follows a group of arc... Read More

After the success of the 2012 film, The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), it is no surprise that a sequel was to be made by the studio. Released in January of 2015, and now on Blu-ray, we now have the sequel entitled Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death.Unlike the first film, which was based on the novel by Susan Hill, Woma... Read More

The Longest Ride

(Judith Raymer) 4/10/2015 9:20 AM EST
If grey is too gloomy for you, try 50 (or 100) Shades of Blush. I did! But, before we get to those hot and glistening details...What you need to know about Nicholas Sparks' latest novel turned Hollywood blockbust... er... uh... hopeful...There are some acting gems in this film.
