If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of ... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/25/2017 3:18 PM EDT A good run for a television show is about four to five seasons, so when you have one that is still going through Season Eight with renewals for another two seasons, you know it's a quality show. When that same show has been nominated every year for an Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy and has won the award five out of Eight years it speaks v... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/21/2017 2:10 PM EDT In 1987, the movie Lethal Weapon brought us the comedy/action team of Mel Gibson (Braveheart) and Danny Glover (Shooter) and it was so genius it spawned three sequels. Almost 20 years after the last film hit theaters, the powers that be (seemingly out of fresh ideas) decided to make it into a television series. Season One aired... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/20/2017 11:55 AM EDT For the past ten years, the television show The Big Bang Theory has made us laugh. With a renewal for at least two more seasons, we can rest assured the gang will all be together and geeky as ever.

If you really think about that seriously, one has to admit th... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 09/19/2017 1:57 PM EDT Take a seat and a pause as this mislabeled "romantic comedy" unhooks its sweater from the gate. Truly a dramedy with strong romantic and comedic overtones, The Big Sick is written by Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley) and Emily V. Gordon; and, is based on their real-life events. While certain elements of their story ha... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 09/19/2017 10:53 AM EDT Warner Bros. and DC Comics have created a cult culture following that I want to be a part of. More importantly, I want my kids to be a part of this cult culture. Between the two mega companies, they have brought comic book characters to life in a way that the Saturday morning cartoons of the 1960's and beyond failed to do. Th... Read More |
