(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/17/2017 8:23 PM EDT Slavery in this country has been the fodder of major motion pictures since the epic drama Roots aired on television in the 1970's. The injustice befallen on African Americans has fascinated and horrified us and has been depicted in graphic detail on occasion. While the stories have been told time and time again, it seems we ca... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/17/2017 11:05 AM EDT Spy movies are generally very popular and well received in this country, especially when there is a team of spies. Some are serious films, while others are meant to be comedies or parodies. In 2005, we got spies in suburbia (and real life drama) with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This year, we once again see espionage come to the world of s... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 1/16/2017 3:02 PM EDT When Universal Studios wants to pick a book to develop into one of the best thriller-mystery movies of the year, they go to Paula Hawkins and create a screenplay and movie of the same name as the book and present it to the audience with twists and turns at every moment of the film. The Girl On The Train is an unpredictable story that will keep... Read More |

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/19/2016 9:28 AM EDT We all know that Storks deliver babies. I mean, come on, that's what our parents told us. And that's what we tell our children. But wait, we will all have some explaining to do, because in the Warner Bros. movie, Storks, they don't deliver babies – they deliver packages.Yes, you read it correctly. Pack... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 12/13/2016 10:54 AM EDT Supervillains, anti-heroes, or bad guys? As Shakespeare said, "That is the question". Okay, he wasn't referring to DC's Suicide Squad movie, but who's really checking? All we know is that Superman's dead, Batman's catching bad guys, Will Smith plays a very expensive hitman, and the Joker's got a girlfriend so crazy that ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 12/12/2016 4:20 PM EDT Ever since the advent of computer sciences, medical breakthroughs have been happening at a lightning fast pace. Starting in the 1990s with the human genome project and the cloning of Dolly the sheep, people have feared scientists might tinker too much with human DNA. As is the norm, art imitates life and in the past few decades films have popped up... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2016 11:35 PM EDT They say people are a product of their environment, although I'm not exactly sure who "they" are. However, for one Boston area neighborhood, it seems to be a true statement. Charlestown, a lower income area, raises a large number of criminals, especially bank robbers. For Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck; The Account... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 12/6/2016 1:43 PM EDT If you had to abandon your city because of an outbreak of a zombie vampire apocalypse, leave everything behind, and put every fiber of your being into the one person who might be able to save the world, who would it be? You'd want someone with a suave attitude, good looks, a sarcastic sense of humor to help keep him alive and the dialogue int... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2016 1:34 PM EDT The 1980 hostage crisis in Iran held the world captivated as we watched the drama unfold and prayed for the safe return of the innocent people being held.
