(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/26/2018 3:06 PM EDT He was just a little boy and his bear living in the countryside of England. Who knew the stories of his moments at play would eventually become the most beloved book of all time. Not only did they bring a country, and the world, back from the depressing post wartime but also they have endured for almost 100 years. Unfortunately, for the real Christ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/23/2018 10:07 AM EDT For the last 30 years, Global Warming and climate change have been discussed and debated. Nowadays, they are at the forefront of almost any political conversation. But what if we could resolve all of that? What if we could launch satellites into the atmosphere that could control and alter weather patterns making our current climat... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/18/2018 11:07 PM EDT Take a coming of age/teenage angst movie, add a murder mystery, stir vigorously, throw it against the wall and see what sticks. Throw in some the best, young talent Hollywood has to offer right now. Finally, give it some obscure name and you have the formula for November Criminals. Starring Ansel Elgort (The Fault In Our Stars) and Chlo... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/18/2018 8:47 AM EDT For those who were not alive when Pearl Harbor was attacked, the biggest terrorist attack ever on United States soil happened on September 11, 2001.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/15/2018 4:00 PM EDT In 1982, Ridley Scott (Alien) gave us a highly stylized movie called Blade Runner. It was set in the future and starred Harrison Ford (Star Wars: Episode IV -A New Hope). Thirty-five Years later, Director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) gives us the sequel, Blade Runner 2049. It continues the story of the ... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/12/2018 8:57 AM EDT Millions of people everyday doing the same thing over and over again. They leave their nice little homes in the suburbs, get on a train into Manhattan, go to work in some high rise building all day, get back on the train, and head home back to the suburbs. Nothing much changes from one day to the next and nothing exciting ever really ha... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/9/2018 9:22 AM EDT The year was 1973. Equal Rights and Feminism were at the forefront of American People's minds. Former Champion tennis player and male chauvinist Bobby Riggs (Steve Carrell: The Office) spouted off about how women shouldn't be playing tennis in the same league with men and challenged the top female players to a match to prove once and fo...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/9/2018 8:55 AM EDT In 1986 Hasbro toys decided to make a television series based on one of their popular toys – My Little Pony.

Almost 20 years later My Little Pony: Friend... Read More |
