(Alyn Darnay) 12/19/2018 9:19 PM EDT By any definition, "Aquaman" is a certified Blockbuster, a mega-action superhero flick filled with spectacle, cool visuals, decadent insanity, and frenetic fun. It's quite probably the best film of the ‘comic book' Superhero genre brought to the screen so far.The scope of the eye candy here is breathtaking; from the clever underwate... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2018 9:32 AM EDT Actor/ Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) is known for his quirky, offbeat comedies so it's no surprise that he decided to tackle Darcey Bell's dark comedy/thriller A Simple Favor. Outwardly, It seems like a perfect match as he infuses his personality into every thread of the movie but there is a seriousness that permeates which is some... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 4:58 PM EDT In order to bring us the thriller Venom, Columbia Pictures, Sony, and Marvel worked in conjunction and from the previews, Venom looked like the typical alien type scary movie. I was very unsure of how it would set itself apart from all the other alien movies but Venom brings out the alien in everyone and is actually a carefully scripted cohe... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:59 AM EDT Racial profiling is an issue that seems to be plaguing this country more and more in the past few years. Young, male minorities end up on the wrong side of an argument and are senselessly killed when a person in authority pulls a gun unnecessarily. We have seen numerous news reports about it happening and several films based on this typ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:11 AM EDT Semper Fidelis – Always Loyal… That is the motto of the United States Marine Corps. Unless you have served as a Marine, you cannot really understand what that means. Up until now, our perception of what being a marine is like is what we have seen in the media. Movies like Full Metal Jacket and Born on The 4th of July ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 12/15/2018 6:31 PM EDT Parents will do almost anything for their children, but sometimes a grieving parent will do more than anything because they have no choice. They break the law, they don't care about consequences, and revenge replaces the word justice in a parents mind. Lakeshore Entertainment and Universal Pictures provide a grim portrayal of what...

(Alyn Darnay) 12/13/2018 9:58 PM EDT Here we go again, another English Period Piece. This one is about Queen Anne and it's thinly disguised as a cynical comedy of royal manners. In reality, it's a nasty, vicious, profane, royal story about two women and their devious plotting and scheming against each other, to become the favorite confidant to the Queen. Take confidant, to mean lover;... Read More |
(Maureen Buccellato) 12/13/2018 9:47 AM EDT HBO's Westworld premiered in 2016. Based on 1973's film by the same name, the series became very popular for the network, and with a star-filled cast, as well as a surprisingly timely plot, it's not hard to see why.In a time where we are constantly connected to the world around us and are given the instant gratification that the interne...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 2:58 PM EDT Imagine what Earth would be like in a post-apocalyptic world. What if nuclear explosions hit multiple continents in a span of 60 minutes? What would be left? How would the world rebuild? What would that look like? Would it disintegrate into a dystopian society? Mortal Engines, the new film based on the Phillip Re... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 10:55 AM EDT This month the comic book world was dealt a heavy blow when we lost a legend, the "Godfather of Superheroes", Mr. Stan Lee. He created so many incredible characters that have endeared and changed over time. I can think of no more fitting tribute to his legacy than Marvel Studios' latest animated feature, Spider-Man: Into the S... Read More |
