Kin

What do you get when you cross a heartfelt family drama with some sci-fi, other dimensional action? Well if you are first-time full-length feature Directors/writers Jonathan and John Baker (Bag Man) you end up with Lionsgate's latest theatrical release, Kin. Reading the synopsis - Chased by a vengeful criminal, the feds and a gang o... Read More

Alpha

(Nathan M Rose) 8/16/2018 10:59 PM EDT
Every once in a while there comes a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and energizes your soul. Alpha is such a movie. Directed by Albert Hughes (From Hell, Menace II Society) it tells a stunning tale of loss, friendship, and courage after a young boy Kodi Smit-McPhee (X-Men: Apocalypse) is left for dead by his tribe and has to find his way...

Mile 22

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/16/2018 12:00 PM EDT
It's a simple matter of "by the books" numbers. Option one…diplomacy. Option two…military. Option three…Overwatch. What, do you ask, is Overwatch? They are the non-government sanctioned tactical team sent in to do the dirty work when all else fails. They are the ones who use any... Read More

Crazy Rich Asians

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/14/2018 8:37 PM EDT
It has been 25 years since there has been a major feature film starring an all-Asian cast and I'm sure there is some social commentary dialogue for the large gap in time between the two films. 1993's The Joy Luck Club is a dreary, serious drama about Asian culture, class discrepancies and honor while this year's Crazy Rich Asians ...

The Meg

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/8/2018 7:01 PM EDT
First, we had a giant lizard and then came a gigantic gorilla and now we have a gigantic Shark. Yes, you read that right… one, big ass shark with a whole lot of teeth. Meet Megalodon, or the Meg for short, a prehistoric sea creature thought to be long extinct. Only it isn't and now it has made its way to the surface and is ready to ter... Read More

Dog Days

This summer it is Dogs Days, starring Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Adam Pally (The Mindy Project), Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), and Jon Bass (Baywatch).With no o...

Ant-man and The Wasp

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/29/2018 9:01 AM EDT
For the last ten years, Marvel Studios has been entertaining us with tales of superheroes and Gods. In the first half of 2018 alone we were treated to blockbusters The Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War and as we hit the halfway point of the year they are once again delighting us with their next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ant...

American Animals

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2018 9:20 AM EDT
Why is it movies about heists always make it seem so easy as if anyone could rob a bank or armored car? It promotes a false sense of hope as well thought out plans seem to go off without a hitch (well not always but you know what I mean). It's not surprising then that four College kids decided, planned and executed a heist to steal ... Read More
