Taken 3

(Nathan M Rose) 4/7/2015 10:28 AM EST
The original Taken film released in 2008 was a sleeper hit for 20th Century Fox and Europa Corp. It followed the story of Ex-covert operative, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson; Non-Stop, Unknown), trying to recover his daughter who had been kidnapped while in Paris. The film primarily worked because of the audience familiarity of a father trying to pr... Read More

Into The Woods

Who knew the woods could be so magical? Apparently director Rob Marshall (Chicago) did when he made the renowned Broadway musical, Into the Woods, come to life. With the world famous cast, he takes you on a journey, which blows you away. There is definitely magic in these woods.The collaborative effort of the cast makes watching the extras worthwhi...

Furious 7

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/3/2015 9:03 AM EST
Furious 7 is everything you would expect from the Fast and Furious franchise and so much more. Once again "the family" needs to pull together to fight against others who want to harm them. Interestingly, this time there are two menaces instead of one and a "world domination" pseudo plot is woven into the mix. In... Read More

Home

The Boov are coming, The Boov are coming!!! What exactly are "Boov", you ask? They are the cute, colorful alien creatures at the center of Dreamworks' new theatrical release Home. Out in theaters on March 27, 2015, this animated film is an hour and a half of typical family entertainment. The Boov are a society... Read More

The Penguins of Madagascar

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/25/2015 12:54 PM EST
After three movies of playing bit characters in the background, the Penguins of Madagascar finally have gotten their starring roles. The black and white flightless birds, that have always had about ten minutes of screen time, are now the main players of the hour and a half long The Penguins of Madagascar. With their crazy strategic... Read More

Sons of Anarchy: Season Seven

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/15/2015 12:01 AM EST
Sons of Anarchy, one of the most successful cable TV series ever, gave its viewers a good send off. Unlike other series finales, it doesn't leave anything up in the air but wraps things up tightly.After viewers were left reeling from the chaos of season 6, Season 7 welcomes back the gang to try and deal with everything and put things back...

Cinderella

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/13/2015 10:09 AM EST
Cinderella…We have all seen it in some form or another. The story has been told time and again. Of course, arguably the best version is the Disney animated classic. Now Disney is trying to outdo itself with a live action movie out in theaters today.This latest attempt is directed by Kenneth Branagh (Thor) and stars Lily James (Do... Read More

Exodus: Gods and Kings

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/13/2015 8:29 AM EST
We all know the story of Moses. Born a slave, grew up in the home of the Egyptian Pharaoh and eventually led the Jewish people out of slavery. If you are over the age of thirty you can remember watching Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur) playing the role in The Ten Commandments. Now Director Ridley Scott (Prometheus, Alien) has created his...

Horrible Bosses 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/24/2015 8:27 AM EST
Recently I watched two sequels on Blu-ray - Dumb and Dumber To and Horrible Bosses 2. The latter was the better of the two films, but that isn't saying much. The aptly named Horrible Bosses 2 IS horrible and boring to boot. Once again Nick (Jason Bateman; Arrested Development), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis; We're The Millers) and Dale (Char... Read More

Big Hero 6

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/23/2015 4:35 PM EST
When Disney released Big Hero 6 in 2014, they only slightly altered their successful animated movie formula. Yes, it is funny. Yes, there is a cute non-human friend guaranteed to offer mass merchandising appeal. Yes, there is a terrible villain who must be stopped. The only thing missing was the beautiful princess and ...
