(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 |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2016 1:20 PM EDT War is a polarizing subject. Is it necessary? Do the ends justify the means? For hundreds of years, countries have sent their young adults off to kill or be killed with mixed results. With today's technological advances, the risks of casualties may seem smaller but can actually be just the opposite. Gavin Hood's (End... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2016 10:44 AM EDT Opa! Nia Vardalos (Connie and Carla) does it again. A sequel 14 years in the making, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 has all the laughs and emotional baggage we loved the first time around. All of our favorite characters return to remind us of the craziness surrounding the Portokalos family, while they navigate through new challenges&h... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/17/2016 2:17 PM EDT There are some movies that are going to make money regardless of if they are good or bad. Allegiant is one of those movies. With a built in audience, and two films preceding it, it is sure to be a winner at the box office. Whether it is good or not is a matter of perspective.In the continuing saga of Tris&... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/10/2016 4:49 PM EDT Anyone who would say 10 Cloverfield Lane is a sequel to 2008's Cloverfield would be wrong. It's more like the long distance cousin…they share a few similarities, but are very different on almost every level. Gone is the shaky, "home video" footage used in the first movie. No more guessing who the enemy is ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/3/2016 9:26 PM EDT Known for their cute, fun animated feature films, Disney takes a drastic turn with their new release, Zootopia. Usually shying away from controversial topics, this time they delve in head on to one of the most stressful topics plaguing our country right now - racial tension. Along with other moral messages, the film artfully navig... Read More |
