(Joey R Mannon) 6/13/2019 11:50 AM EDT A son-meets-father story producing a laugh-a-minute, Shaft delivers exactly what audiences come to see. The plot is simple, the premise is familiar, and the laughs from predictable yet impeccably-timed tag lines are abundant. This latest edition of the Shaft franchise, nineteen years after the previous release, finds the "black James Bond"... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/12/2019 2:58 PM EDT Do you believe aliens live amongst us here on earth,…hiding in plain sight? Are you one of those individuals who is fascinated by conspiracy theories? Do you think our government is hiding secret agencies who go around "erasing" the evidence of aliens? Well, then you know the premise of the MIB movie franchise that bega... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/6/2019 10:17 AM EDT It's the end of an era. As Twentieth Century Fox closes out its final slate, they also close out one of their very successful franchises with this week's Dark Phoenix. Nineteen years ago in July 2000 X-Men came to movie theaters bringing yet another set of comic books to life on the big screen. Nine movies later (not including the two D... Read More |
 
(Alyn Darnay) 5/31/2019 11:36 AM EDT Once upon a time I actually thought great actors and great acting could make any film work. Then, I grew up and figured out that only a great story can make a film great, no matter how good the actors in it may be. Without a compelling script that captures the audience from the start and continues to hold them through to the end, all you're left wi... Read More |
(Alyn Darnay) 5/30/2019 2:39 PM EDT What can you say about a movie that tries to totally capture the formative years of a ROCK GOD?A film that covers his childhood (I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues), his partnership (Daniel), his rise to fame (Honky Cat), his fame (Pinball Wizard), his relationships (Don't Go Breakin' My Heart), his addictions (Crocodile Rock), h...

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/29/2019 4:02 PM EDT Kids can be cruel. The concept is not new and high school bullying can leave scars that last a lifetime. For many, it builds character and changes who they are as a person. It makes them emotionally stronger, tougher and hopefully less cruel towards others themselves. Most grow up to be fairly well-adjusted adults but someti... Read More |
(Alyn Darnay) 5/29/2019 2:58 PM EDT The very first "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" movie I ever saw was the 1956 version shot on film in Black & White, and it starred of all people, Raymond Burr (Perry Mason). I watched it when I was about 7 years old on late night television decades after it was made and thought that a 400-foot tall dinosaur, awoken from undersea hibe... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/24/2019 8:27 AM EDT "It's a whole new world"…truer words have never been spoken (or in this case sung). At the same time, it's a world in which the past is reappearing and becoming reimagined for better or for worse. This is especially true for movies and the latest in this continuing trend is Disney's Aladdin. Originally released in... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/15/2019 2:26 PM EDT Do you believe in destiny or fate or love at first sight? Many romantics say they do but how many really feel that spark just from one glance? Are you more of a realistic, practical, scientific person who needs proof before you can accept things as fact? What if two people at opposite ends of the "love" spectrum meet?&nb... Read More |
(Alyn Darnay) 5/15/2019 10:19 AM EDT Let's start by saying; if you're a John Wick fan, you won't be disappointed by this latest installment of the franchise. The same goes for Keanu Reeves fans, Halle Berry fans, Action Movie fans, and just plain well-made Pop Movie fans.Right from the very first film, you could tell this opus was always meant to be a franchise; the type of movie seri...
