(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/1/2018 7:57 AM EDT Agatha Christie was a prolific novelist with 66 books and numerous short stories to her credit. She wrote in great detail about murder mysteries and offered fans beloved characters like Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, the latter being a Belgian who was the "greatest detective alive" (Sherlock Holmes fans might disagree). He ha... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/27/2018 8:48 AM EDT Disney has always been known for offering viewers lovable characters, memorable songs and scenes that, good or bad, become etched in our minds forever. Often times they do this by using animals as their main characters to tell a story. When Lady and the Tramp debuted in 1955, it gave us all of that and more. The characte... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/26/2018 12:27 PM EDT The Mexican culture is steeped in rich tradition and ceremony and offers its people a sense of community and belonging. The music, food and holidays are unique and distinctive and give the country its long history.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/25/2018 8:51 AM EDT Winston Churchill was a magnificent orator. He would move people to action simply with his words. Many also consider him to be one of the greatest Brits of all time. He led England through Hitler and the volatile times of World War II. He was also known for drinking too much and being more than a bit eccentric and he could be mean... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/22/2018 9:33 AM EDT There is nothing wrong with a little harmless, competitive fun is there? What if it includes some sibling rivalry? What if it all goes awry? Game Night, the new film from Directors John Francis Daley (Vacation) and Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation), answers these questions in a mildly hilarious way. Starring Jason Bate... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/20/2018 8:11 AM EDT Homelessness in the United States has reached staggering proportions and shattered our normal perception of what a homeless person looks like. So often we automatically think of the bum on the street laying on a cardboard bed, the woman dressed in layers pushing around a shopping cart of old bags or blankets or the person at the street corner...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2018 7:57 PM EDT Over the years Marvel Studios has introduced us to an army of superheroes. From Iron Man to Captain America, Star-Lord to Black Widow and Spider-Man to Hulk they have given us a plethora of characters to enjoy while watching them save the world. This week they bring us an African King with powers in Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman; Get ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2018 8:32 AM EDT We have all heard the saying "kids can be cruel". This is especially true for middle school-aged children. They make fun of any little difference anyone displays and bully each other relentlessly. So imagine being a nine-year-old boy with facial deformities who was previously homeschooled stepping out into the world of m... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/8/2018 12:00 PM EDT What started out as Twilight fan fiction has become an international phenomenon that has taken on a life of its own. In 2011, E.L. James' little BDSM story got published worldwide and the term "soccer mom porn" was born. The tale of the shy college student, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson; The Social ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/6/2018 8:10 AM EDT Everyone knows the events of that fateful day in November 1963.

Johnson, Vice President of the United States. Within hours, he would take the oath ... Read More |
