(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/6/2017 9:23 AM EDT In 2011, The Smurfs got the "live action" treatment followed by a sequel in 2013. Both starred Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons). While they were hugely successful, they didn't have the same feel as the 1980's Saturday morning cartoon we all knew and loved. Luckily, Sony A... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 4/5/2017 8:47 AM EDT When most people think of the name Arnold Schwarzenegger, they think of explosions, hardcore action, and a high body count. However, with the actor, turned governor turned actor again, getting up there in age, the type of roles that Schwarzenegger is accepting are tending to be more dramatic. A prime example of this is his latest film, A... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/4/2017 9:34 AM EDT Alfred Hitchcock was a master of directing. His films, like the man, are legendary. He could evoke emotion with one subtle take and a testament to his brilliance is how his films have stood the test of time. Fathom Events recognizes his genius and brought his classic thriller North by Northwest back to theaters for a one-week event.A... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 3/30/2017 10:59 AM EDT "Kind of disjointed," whispered one correspondent. "Distracting…," murmured another. Yet, they all boisterously agreed loudly that they found themselves laughing...increasingly. "It was very funny," many, if not all, declared. Wherever the disconnect might be, this film is truly funny, inventiv... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2017 11:48 AM EDT When I was a little girl, I loved cheesy television shows. The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and CHiPs were among some of my favorites. Granted, they weren't great television by today's standards but when you are young you don't really worry about those things. It was fun television that entertained and ther... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/23/2017 11:07 AM EDT In 1993, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debuted on television and became very successful among children. Based on a Japanese series, Power Rangers generally consisted of five teenagers who were trained and morph into superheroes. The franchise has made over $6 million in merchandising with action figures and Halloween costumes, ... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 3/15/2017 10:01 AM EDT Disney's latest masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast, is a live-action adaptation based on the 1991 animated classic. Some fans of the original (including original cast members that might have been quoted in the press) have questioned the need for or purpose of "recreating" such a timeless favorite. Had the studio decided to ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/8/2017 1:52 PM EDT Ever since he first appeared in movie theaters back in 1933, we have had a fascination with one humongous ape. King Kong became a classic and sparked not only our imaginations but spawned remakes and reincarnations of the huge beast. In 2005, Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) brought his spin to the series in a three-hour... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/23/2017 10:33 AM EDT Jordan Peele is known for being a comedian. Along with his partner Keegan Michael Key (Why Him?), they have starred in their own sketch comedy show and last year's successful movie, Keanu. So it's a little surprising to see he has written and directed a horror film called Get Out. Based on his background it doesn... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/16/2017 2:48 PM EDT The Great Wall of China spans over 5,500 miles and took 1,700 years to build. It is made of stone, brick, and wood and was meant to keep enemies from crossing the border into China. A marvel of labor and architecture that can be seen from outer space, it has numerous stories to tell. Some of these stories include legends that are ... Read More |
