Black Hawk Down

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/6/2019 12:04 AM EDT
In 1992 United Nations forces were attacked in Somalia while trying to deliver food to the starving people. Civil war and underhanded tactics by those in power had left that country in a state of desperation.

Destroyer

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 11:14 PM EDT
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain) is such a versatile actor that one could imagine her playing almost any type of role. She was Satine in Moulin Rouge! and English author Virginia Wolf in The Hours won an Oscar for her performance in the film. Therefore it's no surprise that she fully engrosses her self in her late...

Glass

(Maureen Buccellato) 4/15/2019 9:53 PM EDT
Back in 2000, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was released to pretty decent reviews. I remember sitting in the theatre and not understanding where this film was headed AT ALL. In fact, I was pretty sure I didn't like the film. Then, when the film's twist ending came into play - I was singing another tune. This film had now become AMAZI... Read More
