Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing) has a truly powerful voice which translates into his storytelling and directing style. He generally gravitates towards topics that highlight the injustices suffered by African-Americans and his films are often polarizing. Four of his movies, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, 4Little Girls and She's Gotta Have... Read More

The King of Staten Island

The name Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-old Virgin) has become synonymous with successful, comedic films in Hollywood. Pete Davidson (The Dirt) started his career in the comedy club scene and moved up to become a regular on Saturday Night Live.

The High Note

(Alyn Darnay) 5/29/2020 8:37 AM EST
You rarely hear me fawning over a movie, but when I finally get the opportunity to review a really enjoyable film, well, it's just Great. "The High Note" is such a film. It hits all the right "Notes". It doesn't take itself too seriously, it isn't too heavy, or preachy, or over-wroth with emotion, it just slides right into that ... Read More

The High Note

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/25/2020 12:00 PM EST
The glamorous world of the Los Angeles music scene isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just ask all the celebrities' personal assistants. They run around ragged always trying to please their incredibly demanding employers. Meanwhile, they have dreams of their own. Let's face it… many of them live in the entertainment hub... Read More

Spaceship Earth

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/12/2020 11:56 AM EST
As a Floridian, when one hears the words Spaceship Earth one immediately thinks of the big, round golf ball that sits at the entrance of Epcot Center. Looming eighteen stories high, it greets excited visitors to an amusement park full of wonder and innovation with an international flair. However, in this case, Spaceship Earth refe... Read More

Trolls World Tour

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/10/2020 10:10 AM EST
They're colorful, they're bright, they're furry, they love to sing and dance and…they fart glitter. Yes, that's right, Universal Studios/DreamWorks Animation is once again bringing their beloved Trolls back for a second round. Poppy (Anna Kendrick; Pitch Perfect), Branch (Justin Timberlake; In Time) and the rest o... Read More

Call of The Wild

Jack London spent almost a year in the Canadian Yukon during the Klondike Goldrush. While there he watched as dog sleds raced through the harsh terrain and weather in an effort to get their masters' to the gold before anyone else.

Bloodshot

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/12/2020 9:42 AM EST
It seems if there is a comic book/graphic novel out in the world, then at some point we will see a big-screen adaptation. Marvel and DC Comics have had great success in the last ten years turning their superheroes and villains into major box office hits and now Valiant Comics is trying to duplicate the achievements of their counterparts with ...

The Way Back

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/5/2020 4:08 PM EST
Most people can recall a time in their young lives when someone older inspired them and/or believed in them. Perhaps it was a teacher or a coach or a tutor, etc. who helped them see the potential they had even when they couldn't. There have been numerous films over the years that have explored this theme and it is common to get at l... Read More

Emma
