(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2019 8:34 AM EDT Since 2007 audiences have had the pleasure of watching a Saturday morning cartoon come to life in the form of Transformers. These autoboot, alien creatures came to Earth seeking a place to hide from the evil forces that looked to destroy them. Over five films spread across a dozen years, we have gotten to know Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatr... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/26/2019 8:55 AM EDT In 1941 Aquaman was introduced in a backup feature of the DC comics. Over the years he was more of a minor character in the DC Universe even though he is part of the Justice League. In the past, he was drawn as a blonde haired, fair skinned pretty boy who rode a seahorse. He was taken very seriously over the years even in the Saturday m... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/19/2019 11:15 AM EDT Stepping a bit out of my horror comfort zone, I set upon the task to watch Lionsgate's 4K re-release of the 2005 Nicolas Cage thriller Lord of War.I am far from a Nicolas Cage (National Treasure) fan; however, in this case, I found myself really engaged in watching this movie. Let me say that Yuri Orlov is one of the most despicable characters to g... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/18/2019 10:54 AM EDT In 1934 P.L. Travers published a children's book about a magical nanny named Mary Poppins. Thirty years later Disney brought her to life in the feature film Mary Poppins starring Julia Andrews (The Sound of Music). After fifty-four years, Disney once again decided to revisit the beloved character when Mary Poppins Returns hit theaters last ye... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/11/2019 9:52 PM EDT The Harry Potter franchise has soared to unbelievable heights throughout the years, spawning 7 books, 8 films, theme park attractions and even a spin-off universe, Fantastic Beasts. The spin-off, so far, is comprised of two films, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018). Now, you c... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/11/2019 11:47 AM EDT As recent as the 1960's it wasn't safe for African Americans to travel in the southern portion of the United States. Discrimination was commonplace and segregation was simply a fact of life. When Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali; Moonlight), an African American classical and Jazz pianist, decided to tour the southern states he needed to ... Read More |
 
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/10/2019 2:17 PM EDT My mother always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. My grandma, however, said if you are reviewing a film, then put them on blast for being derivative, unimaginative and trite. Luckily, I'm about to find a happy mixture of both of their points of view, as I review Mortal Engines.Post-Apocalyptic fiction/entertain... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/4/2019 9:43 AM EDT In 1976 Rocky was released in theaters and made a household name of Sylvester Stallone (First Blood). It spawned five sequels and has become one of the most iconic boxing movies of all time. It also gave us one of the most recognizable soundtracks in movie history. In 2015, after a nine-year hiatus, audiences were treated to the n... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 2/25/2019 9:10 PM EDT Back in 2012 production started on a little film called Wreck-It Ralph. There was small fanfare at that year's San Diego Comic Con, but not much. All the press really knew is it would be "Roger Rabbit" like but instead of cartoons it would be featuring video game characters and settings that everyone grew up loving. The film, which debute...

(Alyn Darnay) 2/24/2019 5:18 PM EDT Why does it seem that every producer out there now wants to make an English Period Piece? I guess it's because of the success of the TV series The Crown and others like it. There's nothing wrong with that, there are certainly enough people out there interested in seeing a good period piece.However, in order to be a ‘good' period piece, t... Read More |
