(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/11/2016 11:27 AM EDT Have you ever had a dream you wish you could accomplish? Ever think you are better at something than you actually are? Florence Foster Jenkins is someone who could answer yes to both these questions and her story is dramatized on the new film of the same name. Coming to theaters on August 12, 2016, Florence Foster Jenkins&nbs... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/4/2016 10:19 AM EDT The world of comic books has invaded the movie theaters and has all but taken over. The biggest blockbusters in the past few years have all included men in capes with super human abilities. It was only natural that when DC comics and Warner Bros. announced they were making a movie from Suicide Squad that the speculation and hype surroun... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/28/2016 3:20 PM EDT After a 4 year hiatus, and 9 years for Matt Damon (The Martian), the Bourne franchise returns to theaters this week with the latest installment titled Jason Bourne. The highly anticipated film also sees the return of Director Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) and his "shaky cam" technique. With the original star and the... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/14/2016 3:33 PM EDT If you were a child of the 80's, you will undoubtedly remember the classic movie, Ghostbusters, starring Dan Aykroyd (The Blues Brothers), Bill Murray (Caddyshack), Harold Ramis (Stripes), and Ernie Hudson (The Crow). I'm not sure why Columbia pictures decided to reimagine Ghostbusters, but for some reason it did.Dr. Erin Gilbert (Kri... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/13/2016 11:00 AM EDT It was the biggest drug bust in US history. A triumph for the Federal Government that took down over 100 drug smugglers in the Pablo Escobar Ring. For Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston; Breaking Bad), it was a few years' worth of work living a double life and always being in danger. It was also bittersweet as he became friends with man...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/10/2016 3:35 PM EDT As the old saying goes, "war is hell". Of course that is true of the soldiers fighting those wars but even more so for the civilians witnessing the atrocities war can bring. Everything from riots and bombs to lost limbs and life befall those not actually fighting in the war. The toll it takes on anyone unlucky enough to ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/8/2016 1:31 PM EDT If cats have nine lives, how many reincarnations do dogs get? If Wiener-Dog is any indication, the answer is about five. Or, at least it seems that way in this case. The movie follows the travails of a dog that is passed from home-to-home and scenario-to-scenario and, as independent films go, I've seen worse.Writer/Director To... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/7/2016 6:25 PM EDT Zac Efron has had an interesting career so far. He started as a fresh faced teenager singing and dancing his way in to young girls' hearts, then moved on to more serious and adult roles and now he seems to be enjoying more of the frat boy, partying, comedy driven characters. So far this year, we have seen him i... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/7/2016 2:10 PM EDT Illumination Entertainment hasn't made a ton of animated films, but, when they do, they typically get it right. Great characters, good stories, terrific animation, etc. Their feature films are something to look forward to and their characters tend to be memorable (Minions anyone?). Their newest foray into the world of animation, The Sec... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2016 9:42 AM EDT The story of Tarzan has been told in many different ways over 100 years. From live action films and television shows to books and animated features, we seem to be fascinated with the idea of a man raised among animals. The story appeals to various facets of the population and we always seem to be drawn into the animalistic male who... Read More |
