In this reimagined world, we see how the apes became more intelligent as the movie focused on one specific ape named Caesar (Andy Serkis; The Lord of the Rings Trilogy). Caesar was born in a science lab where the ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/23/2017 5:08 PM EDT 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 |
(Jennifer Broderick) 10/16/2017 9:17 AM EDT Spider-Man: Homecoming is a reboot of the many versions of the Peter Parker/Spider-Man story we have all previously seen over the years. Instead of just taking the traditional story with Peter's uncle being killed and spinning a new version from there, the writers decided to show us what Peter went through trying to figure out his Spide...

Dead Men Tell No Taaaaaaaaaales.It makes perfect sense that Disney would eventually use i... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/19/2017 9:53 AM EDT One of the most highly anticipated movies of 2017, Wonder Woman did not disappoint. While some felt it pushed a feminist agenda, many more saw it as a positive example of female empowerment and people of all ages flocked to it in droves. With the rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics at an all-time high, this film is certa... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/14/2017 4:32 PM EDT 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 |
(Nathan M Rose) 9/14/2017 3:48 PM EDT 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 |
