(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 |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/25/2016 3:27 PM EDT Anthony Weiner has passion. It was evident when he was a member of the House of Representatives from New York. It was evident when he ran for Mayor of New York City in 2013 and it was evident when he was caught in a sexting scandal... not once, but twice. Weiner is vocal and stubborn and, at times, volatile.It's a wonder why he woul... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/19/2016 5:17 PM EDT Crude, rude, obnoxious and offensive are all accurate adjectives to describe Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. As if the first film wasn't awful, yet funny enough, the second continues in the same vein of sophomoric frat humor. While not quite as good as the first one, the sequel will remind viewers of all of the things they liked about... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/19/2016 2:17 PM EDT Writer/Director Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) is known for his spy/police/private investigator stories with two males as the lead characters. His writing is often funny, wry and, at times, sophomoric. Luckily, his latest work, The Nice Guys, serves up more of this same formula that has worked so well for him in the past.Holland Marc...

(Judith Raymer) 5/12/2016 11:02 AM EDT I was a little apprehensive about tackling this one... having George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the same flick. There are exceptions, but the good majority of their films are vehicles for box office draws. Even their serious work can come off as a polished Hollywood tale wrapped with that film gift bow (read: guaranteed money maker).&... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/5/2016 11:08 AM EDT Everyone is talking about it… #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan. Where do you fall on the spectrum, or do you not even care? If you don't, you should, as Captain America: Civil War seems to be one of 2016's blockbusters. Garnering praise aplenty, movie goers will flock to the theaters to see it at least once in the next month and they won... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/21/2016 1:32 PM EDT Quick question… if The Huntsman: Winter's War was never made, would we really be missing anything? The short answer is probably not. While there were some good things about the film, there were far more negatives than positives, starting with the question "why?"The prequel/sequel gives us the back-story of who the hunts...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/14/2016 2:57 PM EDT If you look up the word criminal in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, you will find an adjective meaning "involving illegal activity: morally wrong". From this, one would ascertain a movie with the word as its title would involve either of the above mentioned descriptions, which it does. However, it's difficult to figure out whi... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/7/2016 10:57 AM EDT For me, Melissa McCarthy is hit or miss. Sometimes I like her stuff; other times I don't. Mike and Molly was funny enough. Bridesmaids was hysterical and her character was great. Spy was another example of a fun and entertaining McCarthy movie. However, The Heat and Tammy were both awful and torturous to sit through. S... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/24/2016 8:37 AM EDT Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been one of those highly anticipated super hero movies. Beginning last year, my friends and family started taking sides and debating which hero would, or should, win. Merchandise made its way into stores and online even before the holidays, and the first "sneak peak" debuted a year a... Read More |
