A Star Is Born

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/01/2018 4:09 PM EST
An actress emerges from her shell…a new director proves his worth…a movie that entices all of the senses and emotions in one's body… A Star is Born and the fourth iteration of the movie may be the best one to date. The first film from 1937 starred Janet Gaynor (Sunrise) and Fredric March (The Best Years of Our Lives) and tells ... Read More

For years people have searched far and wide for the elusive Yeti/Bigfoot. Some say it doesn't exist. Others claim to have seen it.

What do you get when you cross a heartfelt family drama with some sci-fi, other dimensional action? Well if you are first-time full-length feature Directors/writers Jonathan and John Baker (Bag Man) you end up with Lionsgate's latest theatrical release, Kin. Reading the synopsis - Chased by a vengeful criminal, the feds and a gang o... Read More

Alpha

Every once in a while there comes a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and energizes your soul. Alpha is such a movie.

It's a simple matter of "by the books" numbers. Option one…diplomacy. Option two…military. Option three…Overwatch. What, do you ask, is Overwatch? They are the non-government sanctioned tactical team sent in to do the dirty work when all else fails. They are the ones who use any... Read More

Crazy Rich Asians

It has been 25 years since there has been a major feature film starring an all-Asian cast and I'm sure there is some social commentary dialogue for the large gap in time between the two films. 1993's The Joy Luck Club is a dreary, serious drama about Asian culture, class discrepancies and honor while this year's Crazy Rich Asians ...
