(Allison Skornick-Rose) 8/17/2016 11:54 AM EDT If you look up the definition of a war dog in the Urban Dictionary, you find, "A political and/or military person who's immorally eager to encourage a people or nation to go to war." For arms dealers, this is exactly what they are hoping for and when President Bush went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, they couldn't wait to s... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/12/2016 8:54 AM EDT Take some animated supermarket food, throw in some catchy tunes, and stir with a bunch of celebrity voices… what could be bad, right? Oh my lord! You are not prepared for what this delicious recipe concocts. Bawdy, immature, outrageous, over the top, raunchy humor and antics ensue and are sure to offend almost everyone in s... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/11/2016 4:38 PM EDT In 1977, Walt Disney Productions made a live action/animated film called Pete's Dragon. It was fun and kid friendly, with happy songs and a colorful dragon named Elliot. While it had some somber moments, the majority of the film was uplifting and inspiring. Almost 40 years later, Disney has reimagined the classic film in a way... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 8/11/2016 12:01 PM EDT What would you do for your family? Would you kill someone or rob a bank? What if you were a career criminal about to lose the family farm due to crooked bankers who preyed on the elderly and ill? Would the end justify the means? Hell or High Water, the new film from Director David Mackenzie (Asylum), gives you ... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-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.

(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 Skornick-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... Read More |
(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.
