A graduate of The George Washington University and Nova Southeastern Law School Jennifer Fischer Broderick’s fascination with the movie world started when she first saw Snow White on the big screen as a young child. When the producers of the movie Annie held auditions in NYC, Jennifer stood on line in the cold to try out for a part and actually made it past the first few try-outs. A vivacious reader, she is fascinated watching books and stories brought to life on the big screen. Jennifer has passed her love of movies onto her children and they are often found planning their weekends around opening premieres.

Arrow: The Complete Fifth Season

Black Sails brought sex, violence, pirates, and a rich history to our homes for fours years. While not a show for the entire family, adults in the house who have never seen Black Sails are missing out on an epic story.

Supergirl Physical Media: Blu-ray Review

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season

Aug 24, 2017

Supergirl is a solid show and brings a different perspective to the Superhero world from its sister shows. While I still see the storyline as a work in progress, Supergirl has a solid cast and an understandable plot that has a lot of steam left.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul

Aug 14, 2017

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is a cute movie, with a new cast, that flows the way the prior two movies in the franchise did. Aimed at the younger school age, it is a resourceful movie but the adults may crave a deeper philosophy than presented.
