For those who were not alive when Pearl Harbor was attacked, the biggest terrorist attack ever on United States soil happened on September 11, 2001.

The Commuter

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/12/2018 8:57 AM EDT
Millions of people everyday doing the same thing over and over again. They leave their nice little homes in the suburbs, get on a train into Manhattan, go to work in some high rise building all day, get back on the train, and head home back to the suburbs. Nothing much changes from one day to the next and nothing exciting ever really ha... Read More

The Greatest Showman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/20/2017 2:10 PM EDT
Some would say Phineas T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman; Logan) was a dreamer. Others would say he was a businessman. Yet, some would argue he was both and some would say he scammed people. The truth is probably a little of each but there is no denying he was one of the greatest showmen on Earth. He gained wealth entertaining people but not... Read More

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/20/2017 8:55 AM EDT
It has been twenty-two years since the original Jumanji film starring Robin Williams graced the silver screen. A lot has changed in that time - grunge music is out, pop music is in, mobile phones are no longer a luxury, but a necessity and board games are no longer the preferred form of entertainment. Video games have taken over and to that end, Co... Read More

The Post

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2017 11:39 AM EDT
The Washington Post was pretty much a local paper until it blew the roof off the White House when it reported on the Watergate scandal in 1973. However, it also made a name for itself as an investigative journalistic newspaper a few years earlier when it followed up on a New York Times story about the Vietnam War and published ... Read More

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/22/2017 12:36 PM EDT
Not everyone is good in a social situation. Some people can be awkward which makes others feel uncomfortable causing them to treat the social outcast poorly. Many think those awkward individuals are stupid but they can be very smart and even downright brilliant. Some of them may be on the Autism spectrum or known previously as an ... Read More

Coco

(Judith Raymer) 11/21/2017 9:53 AM EDT
Directed by Lee Unkrich (Finding Nemo; Monster's Inc.) and Adrian Molina (The Good Dinosaur; Ratatouille), Coco is the latest magic from Disney/Pixar to hit the screen. Coco doesn't just meet then exceed expectations. It excels in every aspect. The story of Coco began five years before it would grace the big screen. ... Read More
