(Judith Raymer) 5/20/2015 11:26 AM EDT Eloquently understated and poignant...I'll See You In My Dreams.There are no grandiose overtures to lure the audience in, but as soon as the film starts rolling, the trance begins. The plot is incidental; the story profound.At a time when our elders are undervalued, and not fully respected as individuals, writer/director Brett Haley (The New Year; ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/18/2015 10:22 PM EDT Critically acclaimed, and Academy award nominated, American Sniper heads to stores May 19th on Blu-ray/DVD/ Ultraviolet combo pack.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/14/2015 10:49 AM EDT It was three years in the making but Pitch Perfect 2 is finally hitting theaters. As is typical with sequels, it can't compare to its predecessor but as a whole it holds its own. I really like the first Pitch Perfect so it had "lofty shoes to fill" and while it doesn't quite get there it was actually better than I expected it ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/12/2015 10:36 PM EDT 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/12/2015 11:37 AM EDT 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).

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/30/2015 10:56 PM EDT 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 |
