The Crown: The Complete First Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/07/2017 10:53 AM EST
Netflix has created an empire all unto themselves with their Netflix originals- both with their movies and television series. A unique feature of Netflix is that they refuse to release their shows on a weekly basis, letting their viewers binge the show all at once. Thank goodness for that, because The Crown, a story abou...

Cars 3

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/06/2017 11:46 AM EST
Let's all admit it. By the time a franchise is into its third sequel, the audience starts wondering if it's really worth spending the time and money going to see movie number three.

The Glass Castle

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/06/2017 10:46 AM EST
So many times in Hollywood films the alcoholism of one of the characters becomes the main focus of the film.

While The Glass Castle addresses the ... Read More

Annabelle: Creation

(Nathan M Rose) 10/26/2017 9:14 AM EST

Over the years there have been numerous films that include the sport of boxing as a backdrop and even a few that include wrestling but until 2011's Warrior there has never been a movie that showcases the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting. Just like Rocky or Million Dollar Baby, the action itself isn't th... Read More

Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Collection

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/20/2017 4:01 PM EST
Alfred Hitchcock is arguably one of the best directors of all time. Known as the "Master of Suspense" he helped to innovate psychological thriller films and influence many of the directors working today. His "personal view" approach to camera work has been copied countless times over as it seems to create a more inti... Read More
