(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/8/2016 1:31 PM EDT If cats have nine lives, how many reincarnations do dogs get? If Wiener-Dog is any indication, the answer is about five. Or, at least it seems that way in this case. The movie follows the travails of a dog that is passed from home-to-home and scenario-to-scenario and, as independent films go, I've seen worse.Writer/Director To... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/7/2016 6:25 PM EDT Zac Efron has had an interesting career so far. He started as a fresh-faced teenager singing and dancing his way into young girls' hearts, then moved on to more serious and adult roles and now he seems to be enjoying more of the frat boy, partying comedy driven characters. So far this year, we have seen him... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/7/2016 2:10 PM EDT Illumination Entertainment hasn't made a ton of animated films, but, when they do, they typically get it right. Great characters, good stories, terrific animation, etc. Their feature films are something to look forward to and their characters tend to be memorable (Minions anyone?). Their newest foray into the world of animation, The Sec... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2016 9:42 AM EDT The story of Tarzan has been told in many different ways over 100 years. From live action films and television shows to books and animated features, we seem to be fascinated with the idea of a man raised among animals. The story appeals to various facets of the population and we always seem to be drawn into the animalistic male who... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/30/2016 8:39 AM EDT Some would argue that author Roald Dahl was a deeply disturbed individual. Others would argue he was a brilliant writer. Some would say he was both. As the author of many children's and adult books, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach, he cemented a place in literary hist... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/16/2016 10:39 AM EDT In 2003, a little fish named Nemo (Hayden Rolence; Cicero in Winter) mesmerized the world. With his bad fin, overbearing father and adventurous spirit, he captivated us into wishing him home. Along for that journey was his father, Marlin (Albert Brooks; Broadcast News) and a forgetful fish named Dory (Ellen DeGe... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/9/2016 10:24 PM EDT Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights) and Edgar "Eddie" Garcia (How to Make It in America) sat down one day with Writer/Director Ian Edelman and brainstormed ideas. The Childhood friends wanted to make a feature film together and just needed the right vehicle. Hence, Puerto Ricans in Paris was born.Luis and Eddie are New York City cops ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/9/2016 9:33 AM EDT Who doesn't love magic? The sleight of hand. The trick of the eye. The elaborate showmanship meant to distract the unsuspecting, naïve spectator. It's fantasy and theatrics that has people the world over delighting in the grandeur of it all.There have been any number of movies where magic serves as the backdrop to drama and suspens...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/2/2016 2:54 PM EDT There is always room for a good love story in film today, and many studios bank on romantic comedies to get female audiences in the seats. What's not to like about a good looking, emotionally damaged leading man, a pretty young lady who "heals" him and a few laughs thrown in? Me Before You isn't that kind of romantic movie.&nb...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/26/2016 5:06 PM EDT Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a timeless classic that has been adapted into movies, both animated and live action, many times. Now, Disney has taken the story a step further by continuing Alice's adventures in their newest release, Alice Through the Looking Glass. In this whimsical story through a colo... Read More |
