The Meg

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/12/2018 10:10 PM EDT
Warner Bros. has an amazing capacity for bringing the unknown and mysterious to life. I can think of more than several movies wherein the audience becomes so invested in the characters, the storyline, and the ending that the edge of the cinema seat is the most worn part of the chair. The thriller movie of the summer can be your thriller... Read More

Air Force One

Terrorism is a worldwide threat and as the saying goes… "we don't negotiate with terrorists". But what if they somehow found a way to infiltrate the most secure aircraft in the world...Air Force One? What if they took the President of the United States and his family hostage? What if they were holding all the card... Read More

BlacKkKlansman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/12/2018 10:25 AM EDT
If you were an African American in this country in the 1960's and 1970's it was a tumultuous time. Desegregation caused violent outbreaks all over the United States. The Ku Klux Klan was building their "army" and recruiting those with similar ideology to join their cause while black men and women were protesting in the streets... Read More

The Darkest Minds

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/7/2018 10:58 PM EDT
The young adult fiction market has vastly increased over the years and the new trend is to take these novels and turn them into feature films. The Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent, Twilight – these are only a few examples and the in the latter half of this year we got another one when author Alexandra Bracken's book The Darkest Mind...

Batman: The Animated Series

(Maureen Buccellato) 11/6/2018 9:30 AM EDT
Over the years, we have seen so many iterations of Batman. From the original comics to a campy 1960s TV show and then to the big screen with a whimsical take on the character in the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton to a more dramatic take with the newer films starring Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. However, in 1992, we also saw a new animated ser... Read More

Christopher Robin

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/5/2018 11:36 PM EDT
In 1926 a collection of stories about a stuffed bear that came to life enthralled children everywhere. Written by A.A. Milne, the short stories became so popular that a second series was published two years later. From that time almost 100 years ago, millions of people worldwide have fallen in love with Winnie-the-Pooh (Jim Cummings; Th... Read More

The Incredibles 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/5/2018 8:42 PM EDT
It's been fourteen years since we were first introduced to and fell in love with Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson; Coach), Elastigirl (Holly Hunter; The Big Sick) and their offspring – Violet (Sarah Vowell; A.C.O.D.), Dashiell (Huck Milner) and baby Jack Jack (Eli Fucile). They along with Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson; The Hateful Eight... Read More

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/2/2018 4:59 PM EDT
It seems anything can be made into a superhero-themed book/show/movie these days and DC comics proved that when they created the Teen Titans comic book series that became an animated television show in 2013. The premise of the show is that of a group of teenagers with superpowers who are trying to be like their adult counterparts in saving th... Read More

In 1999, Warner Bros. released The Matrix, a hugely successful film that spawned a high grossing trilogy, earning over $3 billion. The films were all written and directed by The Wachowski Brothers and have become famous, among other things, for the choice between the red and the blue pill. The franchise introduces audiences to a new way of fi... Read More

Sorry to Bother You

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 10:20 PM EDT
How many times have you just sat down to dinner after a long, hard day of work when suddenly the phone rings. While mildly annoying to have to get up and answer it, it becomes even more frustrating when you find yourself trapped at one end of the phone while a telemarketer at the other end tries to sell you something you don't want or need. A... Read More
