(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/24/2018 11:07 AM EDT It was called the Wild, Wild West for a reason. There was lawlessness across the open plains and a feud brewed between the white people and the Indians. The American troops tried their best to keep things orderly but it seemed to have little effect. As Captain Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale; The Dark Knight) transports dying priso... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/24/2018 10:35 AM EDT In 1958 British Author Michael Bond introduced us to the duffle coat wearing, marmalade-loving bear Paddington. Then in 1975 BBC television broadcast a series about the beloved bear and in 2014 Warner Bros. gave us a live-action feature film. Last year they followed that up with Paddington 2, which garnered both critical and audience ac... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/16/2018 11:00 AM EDT HBO's half-hour comedy series Vice Principals was always meant to be two seasons long. Creators Jody Hill (Eastbound & Down) and Dan McBride (Pineapple Express) - who also stars – envisioned a feature film originally but then morphed the idea into a short-term television show. While the first season wasn't overtly funn... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/11/2018 4:01 PM EDT Besides making feature films out of popular novels and comic books, the newest trend is to fashion them after video games. The latest installment in that endeavor is a movie based on the 1986 arcade game called Rampage. In the game, players choose to be mutated humans who become giant creatures due to accidents in a science lab. T... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/11/2018 10:36 AM EDT Imagine if you knew the future. Imagine if you could predict world events and potentially save thousands of lives a year. Imagine if there were voices inside your head possessing you to write it all down. Imagine if you were a young girl who didn't understand it. Imagine people thought you were crazy or disturbed. For poor L... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/10/2018 9:10 AM EDT Creatures with special abilities have been around in literature and films for a very long time. Beings that can transform or move objects with their minds or see the future are from the imaginations of some very creative people and they tend to fascinate audiences who are fixated on these ideas. They also offer a common theme of humans ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/9/2018 8:45 AM EDT When one thinks of compelling television, one undoubtedly thinks of FX's The Americans. With the recent start of the sixth and final season, we are once again drawn into the dramatic world of international espionage disguised as normal suburban family life… Or is it the other way around? As we brokenheartedly await ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/5/2018 4:53 PM EDT Prom night. It's a magical time for teenagers all over the country. They party, dance, do things they shouldn't be doing and plan for a special night they will never forget. For some that includes losing their virginity. It's a "rite of passage" many partake in before they graduate from high school and head off to ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/3/2018 10:26 AM EDT Supernatural beings seem to be everywhere in our entertainment media. They are taking over movie screens and televisions across the country. From monsters invading earth to superheroes saving it, there are a plethora of life forms for us to soak up. Marvel television brought another entity to its ever-expanding universe this past ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/3/2018 9:20 AM EDT The 1970's were a wild time. Drugs, partying, and wild sex… it was rampant and everywhere. And Helen (Glenn Close; Damages) was a part of it all. She had multiple partners and wasn't quite sure which one of them could have fathered her twin boys, Kyle (Owen Wilson; Wedding Crashers) and Peter (Ed Helms;&nb... Read More |
