(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/08/2016 10:17 AM EDT Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds; Green Lantern) is no super hero. In fact, he is probably the anti-super hero.

He's funny, crass, sarcastic, sel... Read More |

Or in this case, never judge a movie by its trailer.Nicholas Sparks' latest feature film, The Choice, looked less than appealing based on the two minutes I saw online.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 01/28/2016 1:58 PM EDT Disney's The Finest Hours dramatizes the events of one of the most harrowing Coast Guard rescue missions off the Massachusetts coast in 1952. Still regarded as one the most heroic and successful rescues in Coast Guard history, the events of February 18 inspired both book and now the film, which opens in theaters on January 29th. Based on a tr... Read More |
