Tolkien

(Alyn Darnay) 5/9/2019 2:17 PM EST
"In a hole in the ground"…J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, and with those immortal words began the creation of a place known as Middle Earth, a mythological land where Hobbits dwell. "The Hobbit" was published in 1937 and received tremendous critical acclaim. It has been read, taught, admired, loved, and copied ever since.It spawned... Read More

Poms

(Alyn Darnay) 5/9/2019 9:04 AM EST
I don't know what this film about senior citizens in a retirement community is trying to be, and I don't think it knows either. Is it a comedy, a drama, a tale of female bonding through sports, or is it just about the cattiness of women? Maybe it's trying to be all those things at once, and perhaps that's why it doesn't work for me. Trying to be to... Read More

POKÉMON Detective Pikachu

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/8/2019 2:30 PM EST
If you are a child of the '90s or are the parent of one then you are surely aware of what Pokemon are. These fictional creatures live in the Pokemon Universe (of course) and have human trainers who catch them and prepare them to battle each other for sport. Each one has unique powers that they can use when fighting. This concept ... Read More

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/7/2019 10:27 AM EST
Lego Toys- The building blocks of our childhood. Lego Toys - The nightmare of every barefoot parent as they wander around the house in the dark late at night. Lego Toys- those interlocking, plastic pieces that clicked and snapped into place and fueled one's imagination. Remember the hours of enjoyment spent building people and things?&n... Read More

The Prodigy

(Maureen Buccellato) 5/7/2019 9:22 AM EST
When people start their families, they dream about what kind of person their child will be - successful, happy, kind, etc. But what if the child you have always been dreaming of becomes an evil nightmare? In The Prodigy, we see just that - a true birth of evil (although not as good as Rosemary's baby). Now, you can grab this title on Blu-ray fo... Read More

Better Call Saul: The Complete 4th Season

(Leonard Buccellato) 5/6/2019 1:47 PM EST
There are two types of people, those that love the Vince Gilligan/Peter Gould, Breaking Bad Spinoff Series, Better Call Saul, and those that are wrong! Especially if you are a fan of Breaking Bad, you owe it to yourself to watch this well thought out and incredibly well-acted series.Gilligan/Gould have created an amazingly watchable world, populate...

Black Hawk Down

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/6/2019 12:04 AM EST
In 1992 United Nations forces were attacked in Somalia while trying to deliver food to the starving people. Civil war and underhanded tactics by those in power had left that country in a state of desperation. By 1993 Mohamed Farrah Aidid had a great influence over a number of citizens and commanded an army of insurgents who went around ... Read More

UglyDolls

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/2/2019 1:55 PM EST
In February 2001 Uglydoll made its way to toy store shelves and was awarded the specialty toy of the year. The concept began because of a long distance relationship between David Horvath and his future wife Sun-Min Kim. The brand became very popular and has now spawned not only an animated feature film but a television series as well. S... Read More

Long Shot

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/1/2019 5:14 PM EST
Google the definition of a long shot and this is what you will get - a venture or guess that has only the slightest chance of succeeding or being accurate. That idea can pertain to almost anything from a job prospect to asking someone out on a date to winning the lottery. In the case of the new movie from Lionsgate, Long Shot could incl... Read More

Avengers: Endgame

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EST
Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't. It's been eleven years and twenty-one movies in the making and now we get to watch as the Avengers battle Thanos for control of the galaxy. It's easy to say that Avengers: E... Read More
