Reading the synopsis - Chased by a vengeful criminal, the feds and a gang o... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/28/2018 9:42 AM EDT Tom Clancy's first novel, The Hunt For Red October, was sold to Naval Institute Press for $5000 in 1984. The book, which Clancy had hoped would sell 5,000 copies ended up selling almost 10 times as much and was complemented by President Reagan causing it to become a national bestseller.

He has been nominated for an Academy Award seven times, winning twice.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/21/2018 9:54 AM EDT Whether you love him or you hate him…he doesn't really care.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/16/2018 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/14/2018 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 ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/9/2018 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...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/8/2018 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/7/2018 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.
