Easy A

(Nathan M Rose) 9/16/2010 10:51 PM EDT
In the spirit of such films as Sixteen Candles, Can't Buy Me Love, 10 Things I Hate About You, and 13 Going on 30, Screen Gems releases Easy A, starring Emma Stone on audiences this week. Easy A premise is simple enough -- a modern-day telling of the Scarlet Letter. Olive (Emma Stone, SuperBad, Zombieland) is a simple high school stude... Read More

The Vampire Diaries Season 1

(Nathan M Rose) 9/12/2010 1:29 PM EDT
After the success of Twilight, studios and television networks started searching for the next Vampire series that they could profit on. One of them to stand out from the crowd was The Vampire Diaries, by L.J. Smith. This series could have been glossed over by any writer, stayed on the air as fodder, and then been done with. Howeve...

Going The Distance

(Nathan M Rose) 9/2/2010 5:01 PM EDT
If past history is anything that indicates the dog days of summer, it is when the films that did not make the summer blockbuster cut are dumped into theaters.Most of these movies are throw-away movies and do not deserve a second look. However, this year seems to be the exception with many great films coming at the end of summer, and &quo... Read More

Escape from New York takes place in the future (our past now) in the year 1998. New York has been turned into a maximum-security prison; and once you go in, th... Read More

The Switch, based on a short story by Jeffrey Eugenides, stars Jennifer Aniston (Kassie) and Jason Batman (Wally). They are two best friends and are going through their own middle-age crises.

Date Night

(Nathan M Rose) 8/10/2010 8:27 PM EDT
On April 9th, 2010, a very quirky comedy for couples called, Date Night, was released to the movie-going audience. It starred Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Now in August, this zany couple comedy comes home on DVD and Blu-ray -- courtesy of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.The plot of Date Night is pretty simplistic and should appeal to anyone that ...

The Losers

(Nathan M Rose) 7/20/2010 1:30 PM EDT
It is unbelievable, but since its theatrical release only two months ago, The Losers, will be debuting and coming to Blu-ray this July. Based on the comic book of the same name, The Losers is an explosive tale of double cross and revenge. "The Losers" centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jun... Read More

Hot Tub Time Machine

(Nathan M Rose) 7/12/2010 1:56 PM EDT
The 1980s are back with a bang this summer as the quirky spring 2010 comedy hit, Hot Tub Time Machine, makes its way on DVD and Blu-ray. The plot is so simplistic that it isn’t even funny; four pals are stuck in a rut in adulthood -- Adam (John Cusack, Grosse Pointe Blank, 2012) has just been dumped, Lou (Rob Corddry, Law and Order, W) is a ...
