North by Northwest

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/4/2017 9:34 AM EST
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

The Boss Baby

(Judith Raymer) 3/30/2017 10:59 AM EST
"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

CHiPs

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2017 11:48 AM EST
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

Beauty and the Beast

(Judith Raymer) 3/15/2017 10:01 AM EST
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

Kong: Skull Island

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/8/2017 1:52 PM EST
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

Get Out

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/23/2017 10:33 AM EST
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

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

Parking lot. After school. 3pm. Think you've seen it? Think again. Fist Fight stars Ice Cube (Boys n the Hood; Friday) and Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses; It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as high school teachers readying to draw fists at the end of the day.
