(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2019 7:47 PM EDT What if one day you were a fourteen-year-old kid and the next you were a male superhero in his thirties? How would you handle it? Would you be freaking out? What if you obtained those powers from an ancient wizard? Imagine you could switch back and forth between adult and teenager by just uttering one simple word – Shazam! I...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/20/2019 4:16 PM EDT Jordan Peele was always known as part of the comedy duo Key and Peele and was considered to be very funny. Then in 2017, he made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed thriller, Get Out for which he won the Oscar for best original screenplay. It showed us the dark side of his personality and had audiences looking at him in ... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/19/2019 11:15 AM EDT Stepping a bit out of my horror comfort zone, I set upon the task to watch Lionsgate's 4K re-release of the 2005 Nicolas Cage thriller Lord of War.I am far from a Nicolas Cage (National Treasure) fan; however, in this case, I found myself really engaged in watching this movie. Let me say that Yuri Orlov is one of the most despicable characters to g... Read More |

Now, you can own this Oscar-winning film on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD and add it to your home entertainment collection.In this film, we meet Miles Morales (Shameik Moore; Dope), a teenager who lives in Ne...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/18/2019 10:54 AM EDT In 1934 P.L. Travers published a children's book about a magical nanny named Mary Poppins. Thirty years later Disney brought her to life in the feature film Mary Poppins starring Julia Andrews (The Sound of Music). After fifty-four years, Disney once again decided to revisit the beloved character when Mary Poppins Returns hit theaters last ye... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/15/2019 9:24 AM EDT Amination can take on many forms and formats. They can also tell varying types of stories, from Disney's "happily ever after" tales to darker fare like we saw in this year's Oscar winner, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. Then you get animated movies that are more mature in nature such as Anomalisa and the raunchy, R-rated com... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2019 2:13 PM EDT The human race, for the most part, seems to be enamored with the idea of death. We fixate on what comes next. Is there an afterlife? What happens to our soul when our body is gone? Is there such a thing as reincarnation? Hispanic cultures even honor their dead on El Dia de los Muertos. For the filmmaker, Shawn Sn... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/11/2019 9:52 PM EDT The Harry Potter franchise has soared to unbelievable heights throughout the years, spawning 7 books, 8 films, theme park attractions and even a spin-off universe, Fantastic Beasts.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/11/2019 11:47 AM EDT As recent as the 1960's it wasn't safe for African Americans to travel in the southern portion of the United States. Discrimination was commonplace and segregation was simply a fact of life. When Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali; Moonlight), an African American classical and Jazz pianist, decided to tour the southern states he needed to ... Read More |
 
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/10/2019 2:17 PM EDT My mother always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. My grandma, however, said if you are reviewing a film, then put them on blast for being derivative, unimaginative and trite. Luckily, I'm about to find a happy mixture of both of their points of view, as I review Mortal Engines.Post-Apocalyptic fiction/entertain... Read More |
