Thor: Ragnarok

(Judith Raymer) 11/2/2017 8:29 AM EST
Where to begin?!? Where to begin! I suppose with ALERT: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! Now then… While a fan of Marvel, its Cinematic Universe, and Thor in all film appearances (& beyond, er, before…), the Thor films have not been among my favorites. That is until now. Directed by Taika Waititi (What We Do in the ... Read More

A Bad Moms Christmas

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/1/2017 9:03 AM EST
Last year, Mila Kunis (That 70's Show), Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), and Kathryn Hahn (Transparent) made moms everywhere feel a little better about themselves and had us all laughing in the theater at Bad Moms. As Amy, Kiki and Carla respectively, they gave us moms permission to be less than perfect. Now that we are about to hit holiday... Read More

Only The Brave

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/19/2017 11:44 AM EST
There are people who selflessly put their lives on the line for others all the time and our civil service workers can be counted among this group. Police officers and firefighters put themselves in harms way without much thought to the danger that could befall them. They are unsung heroes who don't get as much credit as they deserve.&nb...

The Mountain Between Us

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/5/2017 8:38 AM EST
Almost anyone who travels fears a plane crash at some point in their lives. But what happens when it is in a small plane in a remote area of the mountains with no flight plan submitted so no one knows you are missing? And what happens when the tail of the plane with the homing beacon landed on a different part of the mountain? And what ... Read More

The Hitman's Bodyguard

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/17/2017 9:43 AM EST
Have you ever had a sworn enemy that you suddenly discover you have to work with on a project? What if you had to risk your own life protecting that person? Would you do it? What would it take to motivate you to do it? Would you be able to do it without wanting to kill them yourself? What if it was for the greater good... Read More

Wind River

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/11/2017 10:06 AM EST
I was going to make a joke about "two Avengers walk onto an Indian reservation" but Wind River is no laughing matter. Based on a true story, it is a hard look at life on a reservation and the forgotten Native Americans who live there. A true crime drama, there is more going on than meets the eye, offering up all ...

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/10/2017 12:36 PM EST
If you never saw 2014's The Nut Job, you missed out on some really cute, furry animals scrounging for a few nuts. Well, there is more to the story than that but that gives you a basic overview.Three years later, the cuteness is back in The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature. Surly (Will Arnett; Arrested Development) and t... Read More

Atomic Blonde

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/26/2017 6:18 PM EST
In 1989, the Cold War and Berlin Wall permeated world news. Spies from Russia, England and America worked all over Europe smuggling secrets in a deadly game of cat and mouse. When the wall finally fell, it changed the course of history and some say the spy game forever. Atomic Blonde, based on the graphic novel The Coldest City by... Read More

Dunkirk

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/18/2017 3:15 PM EST
Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) is known for writing and directing some gripping films. His visuals are usually filled with grays and deeper colors which set a tone that permeates his aesthetic and draws the audience in. He knows how to build a scene so it offers the viewer layers while contributing to the overall feel of his films.... Read More

The Big Sick

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/7/2017 2:10 PM EST
We all feel pressure from our parents… get a good education, get a good job, get married, have a family, etc. But for some, that pressure becomes even greater when religious beliefs are thrown into the mix. For Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani; Silicon Valley), that is exactly the life he leads. Unfortunately, that isn't th... Read More
