The young adult fiction market has vastly increased over the years and the new trend is to take these novels and turn them into feature films.

Batman: The Animated Series

(Maureen Buccellato) 11/6/2018 9:30 AM EDT
Over the years, we have seen so many iterations of Batman. From the original comics to a campy 1960s TV show and then to the big screen with a whimsical take on the character in the 1989 film starring Michael Keaton to a more dramatic take with the newer films starring Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. However, in 1992, we also saw a new animated ser... Read More

Christopher Robin

In 1926 a collection of stories about a stuffed bear that came to life enthralled children everywhere. Written by A.A. Milne, the short stories became so popular that a second series was published two years later. From that time almost 100 years ago, millions of people worldwide have fallen in love with Winnie-the-Pooh (Jim Cummings; Th... Read More

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/2/2018 4:59 PM EDT
It seems anything can be made into a superhero-themed book/show/movie these days and DC comics proved that when they created the Teen Titans comic book series that became an animated television show in 2013. The premise of the show is that of a group of teenagers with superpowers who are trying to be like their adult counterparts in saving th... Read More

Sorry to Bother You

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 10:20 PM EDT
How many times have you just sat down to dinner after a long, hard day of work when suddenly the phone rings. While mildly annoying to have to get up and answer it, it becomes even more frustrating when you find yourself trapped at one end of the phone while a telemarketer at the other end tries to sell you something you don't want or need. A... Read More

Law Abiding Citizen

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 9:25 PM EDT
As Americans we expect our judicial system to protect us from the most hardened criminals. Those who violently break our laws should be locked behind bars to keep the innocent people of this country safe. At least that is what we hope would happen. Unfortunately, due to loopholes and prison overcrowding, this isn't always the case. ... Read More

Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series

(Maureen Buccellato) 10/24/2018 9:35 AM EDT
Jim Henson was a master of his craft. Not only did he give us The Muppets but he brought us the beloved series, Fraggle Rock as well. The show debuted in 1983 on HBO in the US (other stations internationally). The series became a hit with kids and continued for four seasons, with the last season airing until March of 1987. Now, those of us who grew... Read More

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

(Nathan M Rose) 10/23/2018 9:42 AM EDT
If you love music from the 1970's Swedish pop group ABBA then you surely loved 2008's movie based on the musical filled with their songs, called Mamma Mia! If, like me, you aren't a fan, then that movie and this year's sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again certainly weren't your cup of tea. Luckily for the former grouping, the second film is se...
