Game Night

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/22/2018 9:33 AM EDT
There is nothing wrong with a little harmless, competitive fun is there? What if it includes some sibling rivalry? What if it all goes awry? Game Night, the new film from Directors John Francis Daley (Vacation) and Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation), answers these questions in a mildly hilarious way. Starring Jason Bate... Read More

Over the years Marvel Studios has introduced us to an army of superheroes.

Fifty Shades Freed

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/8/2018 12:00 PM EDT
What started out as Twilight fan fiction has become an international phenomenon that has taken on a life of its own. In 2011, E.L. James' little BDSM story got published worldwide and the term "soccer mom porn" was born. The tale of the shy college student, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson; The Social ... Read More

Den of Thieves

(Judith Raymer) 1/18/2018 9:11 AM EDT
Spoilers, spoilers...at this time, I do not believe that I can adequately… justly...discuss this film without blowing major plot points, and spoiling swaths of emotional highs and lows. But, before throwing any of those in your unexpecting face...Ever since the first trailer for Den of Thieves was released back in October 201... Read More

12 Strong

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/18/2018 8:47 AM EDT
For those who were not alive when Pearl Harbor was attacked, the biggest terrorist attack ever on United States soil happened on September 11, 2001. The Taliban targeted major buildings in the Northeast setting off a wave of panic and patriotism across this country. Of course, this also set our military into action and, unbeknownst to m...

The Commuter

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/12/2018 8:57 AM EDT
Millions of people everyday doing the same thing over and over again. They leave their nice little homes in the suburbs, get on a train into Manhattan, go to work in some high rise building all day, get back on the train, and head home back to the suburbs. Nothing much changes from one day to the next and nothing exciting ever really ha... Read More

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/21/2017 11:25 AM EDT
Five years ago, the world was introduced to the Barden Bellas, a college acapella group who had the goal of regaining past glory and winning a national title. Three years later, we got the sequel when the Bellas set loftier dreams to include an international stage. Now we have the last installment in the trilogy, as Pitch Perfect 3... Read More

The Greatest Showman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/20/2017 2:10 PM EDT
Some would say Phineas T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman; Logan) was a dreamer. Others would say he was a businessman. Yet, some would argue he was both and some would say he scammed people. The truth is probably a little of each but there is no denying he was one of the greatest showmen on Earth. He gained wealth entertaining people but not... Read More

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/20/2017 8:55 AM EDT
It has been twenty-two years since the original Jumanji film starring Robin Williams graced the silver screen. A lot has changed in that time - grunge music is out, pop music is in, mobile phones are no longer a luxury, but a necessity and board games are no longer the preferred form of entertainment. Video games have taken over and to that end, Co... Read More
