(Nathan M Rose) 11/5/2014 9:00 AM EDT How to make a movie 101 – Open up a proverbial can and add a little bit of 2001: A Space Odyssey, a star studded cast, a bit of family conflict, a three hour runtime, and a horrible twist, and you have Interstellar. Interstellar, the latest big budget, big concept film from Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight), written by ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/4/2014 9:05 AM EDT How far can Disney stretch an animated franchise? Pretty far, it seems. As with most of their cartoon features, there is usually a sequel to a successful movie. First there was Planes and now Planes: Fire and Rescue. The second movie will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on November 4, 2014. In this installment we ... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/31/2014 11:16 AM EDT Everyone knows the story of Sleeping Beauty. Or do they…?

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/28/2014 12:12 PM EDT In today's world of animated movies, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is an anomaly. There are no princesses or catchy tunes to sign along to and the plot actually makes some sense. And while there is still an element of fantasy, it doesn't overwhelm the story. When we return to Berk for this latest installment, there is peace and harmon... Read More |

This was followed up with smash hit Speed, and finally his most well know action films, The Matrix Trilogy. After that t... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 10/21/2014 12:48 PM EDT Who said a old Dog can't teach new tricks? When it comes to creative concepts for cartoons, anything is possible. While many dogs in cartoons like Scooby Doo, Dino & Pluto never say a word, the talking dog isn't out of the ordinary. Just ask Underdog or Brian from family guy. But what is rare is a father and son duo. in fact ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/17/2014 2:19 PM EDT I'm not sure what the fascination is with WWII movies in the past 20 years but there have been several made on the subject. Fury is the latest addition to this list. Set in Germany, just before the end of the war, Fury tackles a different aspect of the war than its predecessors had – life inside a Sherman tank. Fury fol... Read More |
