The world has been in an arms race since before World War II. By 1960, The United States and the Soviet Union were front and center as both countries boasted nuclear weapons at their disposal. The "Cold War" was in full effect and spies from the U.S., Britain, Soviet Union, etc. were working to gather as much information about their... Read More

Once Avengers: Endgame hit theaters ten years of characters and movies came to a glorious yet heartbreaking end. Of course, it left everyone wondering, what's next? We knew a Black Widow was getting the origin treatment and another Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland (Cherry) was on the way but what about the other superheroes? &n... Read More

It was March of 1960 and DC Comics decided to unite some of their biggest superheroes into something called the Justice League.

Promising Young Woman

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/13/2021 8:13 PM EDT
In the past few years, the country has been flooded with stories from individuals who have been sexually harassed and/or assaulted. The #metoo movement has taken over social media and celebrities along with the average American have been sharing their stories with much less fear of victim shaming. However, this country wasn't always... Read More

Rick and Morty: Seasons 1-4

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/10/2021 11:44 AM EDT
Animation's history can be traced back to the old stone age 3.3 million years ago when cave dwellers would depict people and animals in motion in drawings on cave walls. In the 1600s, shadow play and the magic lantern would spark the imaginations of young and old alike, but it would be another 200 years before the invention of the stroboscopi... Read More

Boogie

Through the years there have been tons of sports-related movies. Football, baseball, hockey, basketball…you name it, it has probably been done. Heck, there is even a movie about bobsledding. So, when another sports film heads to theaters, you have to wonder what makes it different from all the rest? The latest endeavor, distribut... Read More

It seems every media company is getting into the "streaming" business and this week Paramount joins that ever-growing list with their new channel, Paramount+. The content will include a library of 2,500 movies and 30,000 television episodes, as well as new content. One of those new endeavors is For Heaven's Sake, a multi-part ... Read More

Coming 2 America

(Alyn Darnay) 3/4/2021 3:27 PM EDT
Let's get this out of the way right from the beginning; I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's fun, as only Eddie Murphy can deliver it, it's nostalgic, conjuring up the magic the first film brought to us back in the late '80s, and it sticks to its original themes of love, family, and tradition. It's still the acceptable Cinderella story for our mode... Read More

British – American author Patrick Ness (A Monster Calls) has written several young adult short stories and novels since first being published in 2003.

Horizon Line

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/2/2021 9:41 PM EDT
Hypothetically, what if you found yourself on a small, twin-engine plane without a pilot. Would you know what to do? Would you be able to fly the plane? What if you only had a few, informal lessons? Would it be enough? That is exactly the dilemma Sara (Allison Williams; Get Out) is faced with in the Mikael Marcimain (Call G... Read More
