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

John Wick, Chapter 2

(Nathan M Rose) 2/9/2017 10:07 AM EST
In 2014, Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) made a career comeback to action films with a little-known movie entitled John Wick. It featured the perfect revenge story, a man hell-bent on avenging the death of his dog that his wife gave him from beyond the grave. The movie had everything going for it — great plot, great acting, great action, ... Read More

The Salesman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 9:50 AM EST
So much is different in other parts of the world from what we know and are used to in the United States.

Relationships between husbands and wives are also different. Yet much o... Read More

It had been a long while since I'd seen a horror flick. I loved them as a kid, but somewhere along the way viewing them just trailed off. So, when the opportunity presented itself to view the latest chapter in the RING franchise, I wasn't so sure how I felt about seeing it. Then, I discovered that it had been directed by F. Javier...

The Space Between Us

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/3/2017 10:34 AM EST
Why has travel to Mars become such a hot movie topic of late? Last year's The Martian was a cautionary tale of space exploration and the triumph of the human spirit. Other than the clichéd ending, it was a gripping and moving commentary on life and outer space. This month's The Space Between Us a... Read More
