(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/4/2018 10:27 PM EDT In 1975 we became terrified of the water when Steven Spielberg's (E.T.: The Extraterrestrial) Jaws hit movie theaters. Let's face it… who can forget that huge mouth with all those teeth coming out of the water as the now iconic John Williams' score played in the background. Then in 1999 we were once again reminded why it wasn't s... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/2/2018 12:27 AM EDT National Lampoon has had a long tradition of comedic films beginning with 1978's Animal House. Many of these movies have gone on to earn cult status and have given us some the best comedy scenes in movie history. How can forget tying grandma to the roof of the car after she passed away in Vacation or the numerous moments that showcased ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/29/2018 11:19 PM EDT Los Angeles - The City of Angels..or is it? Statistics show it has one of the highest number of bank robberies in the country. With an average of one per hour, it seems like a haven for those looking to make a lot of cash fast. It is only right then that a movie about a bunch of bank robbers would be set there. Den of Thieve... Read More |
(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 2:46 PM EDT HBO is known for quality television that engrosses audiences and keeps them coming back time and time again. The Sopranos, True Blood and Game of Thrones have all been award winners, just to name a few and the cable network has a strong history excellence in television. Occasionally they get a mildly entertaining series that has some ap... 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 |
