Mile 22

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/16/2018 12:00 PM EDT
It's a simple matter of "by the books" numbers. Option one…diplomacy. Option two…military. Option three…Overwatch. What, do you ask, is Overwatch? They are the non-government sanctioned tactical team sent in to do the dirty work when all else fails. They are the ones who use any... Read More

Crazy Rich Asians

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/14/2018 8:37 PM EDT
It has been 25 years since there has been a major feature film starring an all-Asian cast and I'm sure there is some social commentary dialogue for the large gap in time between the two films. 1993's The Joy Luck Club is a dreary, serious drama about Asian culture, class discrepancies and honor while this year's Crazy Rich Asians ...

3-Movie Predator Collection

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/14/2018 6:48 PM EDT
It's been a little over 30 years since we first watched Alan "Dutch" Schaefer (Arnold Scharwzenegger; Terminator) battle an alien "big game" hunter in the Film Predator. In 1987 The film opened to mixed reviews but has since become a "new classic" and shows up on endless "top 100" lists. Three years... Read More

Transporter 3

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/09/2018 10:07 AM EDT
In 2002 audiences were introduced to Frank Martin (Jason Statham; Crank) - the quiet, brooding, self-employed transporter. He has a set of rules he doesn't break. One – don't look in the package, two – he doesn't "deal" in people, and three – he works alone. His work is dangerous and he gets paid handsomely f... Read More

The Meg

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/08/2018 7:01 PM EDT
First, we had a giant lizard and then came a gigantic gorilla and now we have a gigantic Shark. Yes, you read that right… one, big ass shark with a whole lot of teeth. Meet Megalodon, or the Meg for short, a prehistoric sea creature thought to be long extinct. Only it isn't and now it has made its way to the surface and is ready to ter... Read More

Avengers: Infinity War

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/07/2018 8:47 PM EDT
It's been ten years and 18 films in the making. Avengers: Infinity War was one of the most anticipated movies of the Spring 2018 and depending on who you ask, it didn't disappoint. It brought together over 20 Marvel superhero characters and melded all their worlds into the fight to end all fights…the fight for the universe and ha... Read More

Dog Days

(Terry Zembowsky) 08/07/2018 4:47 PM EDT
Every once in a while, there is a movie that just hits home with every target audience. This summer it is Dogs Days, starring Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Adam Pally (The Mindy Project), Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), and Jon Bass (Baywatch).With no o...

The Death of Superman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/06/2018 3:46 PM EDT
In 1992, DC Comics decided to create a crossover story that saw the Justice League battle Doomsday. However, unlike most of the DC comics, this story didn't end so well for our superhero friends and, shockingly, ended with Superman's demise. While some of the media felt it was nothing more than a publicity stunt, it created a th... Read More

Riverdale: The Complete Second Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/06/2018 11:03 AM EDT
Riverdale Season One began with a murder and ended with a gunshot so it seems no surprise that Season Two was ripe with violence and one dead body piling up after another. At twenty-two episodes long it offered everything a good nighttime soap opera should have - murders, mysteries, people getting beat up, corruption, wealthy individuals pull... Read More

Dark Crimes

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 07/30/2018 9:48 PM EDT
When one here's the name Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective) the first thing that pops into one's mind is generally slapstick, physical comedies and immature, unintelligent characters. It was a gamble then for him to take on a depraved and serious film such as Dark Crimes. The story, as the title would suggest, is dark and some woul... Read More
