Coco

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/26/2018 12:27 PM EST
The Mexican culture is steeped in rich tradition and ceremony and offers its people a sense of community and belonging. The music, food and holidays are unique and distinctive and give the country its long history. Therefore, it is no surprise that Disney and Pixar teamed up to create a magical animated tale encompassing these factors. ... Read More

Darkest Hour

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/25/2018 8:51 AM EST
Winston Churchill was a magnificent orator. He would move people to action simply with his words. Many also consider him to be one of the greatest Brits of all time. He led England through Hitler and the volatile times of World War II. He was also known for drinking too much and being more than a bit eccentric and he could be mean... Read More

The Florida Project

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/20/2018 8:11 AM EST
Homelessness in the United States has reached staggering proportions and shattered our normal perception of what a homeless person looks like. So often we automatically think of the bum on the street laying on a cardboard bed, the woman dressed in layers pushing around a shopping cart of old bags or blankets or the person at the street corner...

Homeland: The Complete Sixth Season

(Maureen Buccellato) 02/19/2018 3:36 PM EST
From the beginning, Homeland has pulled viewers in with its intense storytelling and the ability to surprise viewers at any turn. From the romance and drama between Carrie Mathison and Nicholas Brody (and to his eventual demise) to the life-changing directions Danes' character has taken both personally and professionally, viewers have...

Wonder

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/13/2018 8:32 AM EST
We have all heard the saying "kids can be cruel". This is especially true for middle school-aged children. They make fun of any little difference anyone displays and bully each other relentlessly. So imagine being a nine-year-old boy with facial deformities who was previously homeschooled stepping out into the world of m... Read More

Day of the Dead: Bloodline

(Leonard Buccellato) 02/08/2018 4:43 PM EST
Day of the Dead: Bloodlines is the second remake of the bleak, George A. Romero film, released in 1985. This version of Day, Directed by Hèctor Hernández Vicens with the screenplay by Mark Tonderai and Lars Jacobson, brings us on the verge of humanity's destruction. Medical student Zoe Parker (S...

A Bad Moms Christmas

(Jennifer Broderick) 02/06/2018 8:49 AM EST
Universal Pictures loves to give us interactive movies with which we can all relate and really immersive sequels. A Bad Moms Christmas definitely fits into that category. While a little over the top and much exaggerated in the plot as to how moms react in real life, the underlying frustration of having to do it all and do it perfect... Read More

LBJ

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/06/2018 8:10 AM EST
Everyone knows the events of that fateful day in November 1963. As President Kennedy's motorcade made its way down the street in Texas, shots rang out and numerous lives were changed forever. Closely behind the President's car was Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President of the United States. Within hours, he would take the oath ... Read More

Gothic

(Leonard Buccellato) 01/30/2018 11:20 AM EST
Ken Russell (Altered States, The Devils) is possibly the most difficult Director to digest. He is, at once, profound and profane, simple and complex, acrimonious and pleasant. Ken Russell was many things, but boring was not one of them. Gothic, starring Gabriel Byrne, Julian Sands, Natasha Richardson - in her first movie role, as well as Myri... Read More

Class of 1999

(Leonard Buccellato) 01/30/2018 11:01 AM EST
Class of 1999, from Mark L. Lester, the writer/director that brought us, Class of 1984, returns with the next installment of kids gone wild and this time the teachers are getting in on the action. 1999 is a heady mixture of Mad Max meets Terminator, meets A Clockwork Orange. This is the quintessential Dri... Read More
