The Minions

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/9/2015 3:30 AM EST
Let's face it one of the best parts of the Despicable Me movies are those cute, little, yellow guys that speak a made up language. The minions are funny, goofy and adorable and now they have their own movie. Minions hit theaters July 10th for 90 minutes of utter cuteness. Throughout the centuries the minions have only looked for a master... Read More

# 37 on the American Film Institutes top 100 movie quotes list goes like this… "I'll be back" It's like the never-ending promise of a series that will never end.

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

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
