Black Hawk Down

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/6/2019 12:04 AM EST
In 1992 United Nations forces were attacked in Somalia while trying to deliver food to the starving people. Civil war and underhanded tactics by those in power had left that country in a state of desperation. By 1993 Mohamed Farrah Aidid had a great influence over a number of citizens and commanded an army of insurgents who went around ... Read More

UglyDolls

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/2/2019 1:55 PM EST
In February 2001 Uglydoll made its way to toy store shelves and was awarded the specialty toy of the year. The concept began because of a long distance relationship between David Horvath and his future wife Sun-Min Kim. The brand became very popular and has now spawned not only an animated feature film but a television series as well. S... Read More

Long Shot

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/1/2019 5:14 PM EST
Google the definition of a long shot and this is what you will get - a venture or guess that has only the slightest chance of succeeding or being accurate. That idea can pertain to almost anything from a job prospect to asking someone out on a date to winning the lottery. In the case of the new movie from Lionsgate, Long Shot could incl... Read More

Avengers: Endgame

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EST
Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't. It's been eleven years and twenty-one movies in the making and now we get to watch as the Avengers battle Thanos for control of the galaxy. It's easy to say that Avengers: E... Read More

Destroyer

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 11:14 PM EST
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain) is such a versatile actor that one could imagine her playing almost any type of role. She was Satine in Moulin Rouge! and English author Virginia Wolf in The Hours won an Oscar for her performance in the film. Therefore it's no surprise that she fully engrosses her self in her late...

Alien

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 8:15 PM EST
The year was 1979. The director was a mostly unknown individual named Ridley Scott (Blade Runner). The film, that changed the future look and ideas of what creatures should look and act like, was called Alien. The movie became a huge hit and made both Scott and the film's star, Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), household names. ... Read More

Welcome To Marwen

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/19/2019 3:35 PM EST
Robert Zemeckis has been making films since 1978. Considered an innovator of visual effects, he is known for having directed some of this country's most iconic movies including Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forrest Gump – the latter one which he won a Best Director Oscar.

The Kid Who Would Be King

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/18/2019 11:55 AM EST
The legend of King Arthur and Excalibur has been around for ages. The story of the sword in the stone that can only be removed by the rightful heir has been told time and again. There are books written, movies made and television shows that tell the tale of the boy that freed the sword, became king and along with his most trusted a... Read More

Glass

(Maureen Buccellato) 4/15/2019 9:53 PM EST
Back in 2000, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was released to pretty decent reviews. I remember sitting in the theatre and not understanding where this film was headed AT ALL. In fact, I was pretty sure I didn't like the film. Then, when the film's twist ending came into play - I was singing another tune. This film had now become AMAZI... Read More

Disneynature Penguins

(Nathan M Rose) 4/15/2019 10:04 AM EST
Everyone knows about penguins. Almost all of us have seen them in a zoo, a cartoon, or in a film, but how much do we really know other than the fact that they waddle around and are cute? What do we really understand about their lives and mating rituals? Sure we may have seen documentaries about them before but nothing like this on... Read More
