E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/14/2017 4:32 PM EST
I was eleven years old when E.T. The Extra-terrestrial movie came to theaters. I can remember with fondness being enchanted by the little, brown, wrinkled alien with the big eyes and glowing fingertip who only wanted to find a way back home and the young boy determined to help him. I also remember running out to buy the best, ... Read More

The Mummy

In 1999, Universal remade one of their famous monster movies, The Mummy, for modern ages. It was a cross between a horror film, a goofy comedy, and an Indiana Jones film. While it was earmarked as a modestly budgeted film, it became one of the biggest box-office smashes of that year spawning two sequels, a spin-off series, and a... Read More

The coolest retirees you know are back! Frank Moss (Bruce Willis; Die Hard), Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich; Empire of the Sun), and Victoria (Helen Mirren; Eye in the Sky) are once again wielding guns and kicking ass.

Red

Every wonder what happens to old spies when they retire? Do they sit around reliving the "glory days"? Do they take up hobbies such as painting and needlepoint? Or do they spend their days at target practice hoping for one last job to keep things exciting? For former CIA agent Frank Moss (Bruce Willis; Die Ha... Read More

The Cabin In The Woods

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/5/2017 10:24 AM EST
Some of the best horror movies take place in remote locations cut off from civilization. Just from its title, you know The Cabin in the Woods is that kind of movie - at least it seems so from the onset. From the brain child of Joss Whedon (Firefly) and Drew Goddard (DareDevil), the movie chronicles five college students wh... Read More

Blade Runner

In 1982, Harrison Ford was running high on the successes of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark when he decided to star in Ridley Scott's (The Martian) movie Blade Runner. While not initially a box office success, it became a cult classic with legions of loyal followers worldwide. With the technological advanc... Read More

Prometheus

In Space, no one can hear you scream. But why? How did the Aliens come into being? Ridley Scott (Gladiator) and 20th Century Fox try to answer these questions with the start of a new prequel series for the Alien saga and its first film, Prometheus.Twenty-nine years before the ill fated day that the Nostromo set foot on LV-426 is the setting for the...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/22/2017 4:11 PM EST
Marvel has created a stupendous franchise that is loved by all. Once again they have taken comic book characters that were little known by the children today but loved by their parents and grandparents and brought those characters to life in a most colorful and impressive way. Keeping it light with family friendly humor has become the basis of thei... Read More

Alien: Covenant

(Nathan M Rose) 8/21/2017 3:56 PM EST
"In Space, no one can hear you scream". That tagline became famous in 1979 when the film Alien ushered in a new genre of "space horror" that is still alive today. Its father, Ridley Scott, is back again to where he started it all with Alien: Covenant. Alien: Covenant takes place about ten years aft... Read More
