(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/18/2017 5:09 PM EDT Going on vacation is something almost everyone anticipates looking forward to doing. Some choose to head to Europe, some stay closer to home and many choose tropical locations in South America. Even though some countries have a travel ban or are considered to be dangerous for tourists, many don't care and head to these exotic locations ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/17/2017 9:43 AM EDT Have you ever had a sworn enemy that you suddenly discover you have to work with on a project? What if you had to risk your own life protecting that person? Would you do it? What would it take to motivate you to do it? Would you be able to do it without wanting to kill them yourself? What if it was for the greater good... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/15/2017 10:08 AM EDT Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) has a certain charming quality about him. Whether he is playing a drug dealer in the 1970's or he is romancing a beautiful woman and melting women's' hearts everywhere, he always seems to come across a little bit like a used car salesman to me – but not in a bad way. He is smooth and likable and has a ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/15/2017 9:27 AM EDT As a parent, what would you do to keep your child safe? Would you lock them in a tower like Rapunzel? For Pauline (Anika Noni Rose; Dreamgirls), it seems that is the only solution but was her decision the right one? For many years, it seemed so until one day everything changed.Maddy (Amandla Stenberg; The Hunger Games) isn't your normal eighteen-ye... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/14/2017 10:11 AM EDT In today's world of entertainment full of superheroes, someone decided it was a good idea to base a television show on the Archie Comic book series. Since 1941 the characters have become familiar to generations of comic lovers worldwide and now they appear on television though not in the same vein as the comics. All the regulars are...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/11/2017 10:06 AM EDT I was going to make a joke about "two Avengers walk onto an Indian reservation" but Wind River is no laughing matter. Based on a true story, it is a hard look at life on a reservation and the forgotten Native Americans who live there. A true crime drama, there is more going on than meets the eye, offering up all ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/10/2017 12:36 PM EDT If you never saw 2014's The Nut Job, you missed out on some really cute, furry animals scrounging for a few nuts. Well, there is more to the story than that but that gives you a basic overview.Three years later, the cuteness is back in The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature. Surly (Will Arnett; Arrested Development) and t... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/7/2017 9:46 AM EDT Look up the definition of the word crashing online and you come up with several options... Merriam-Webster defines it as utter, absolute while The Urban dictionary describes it as either coming down from a drug high or attending an event that is not publicized or that one has not invited to. It can also mean staying with friends unexpectedly ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/1/2017 3:27 PM EDT HBO is on a roll. Most of their shows and documentaries are excellent productions that win awards and critical praise. Of course, I'm sure it's easier to create top quality work when only 7-13 episodes are being produced but the production quality is top rate nonetheless. One of their latest endeavors is a seven part miniseries ca... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/1/2017 9:13 AM EDT In 1979 George Burns (Oh, God!), Art Carney (Last Action Hero) and Lee Strasberg (...and justice for all) starred in director Martin Brest's (Scent of a Woman) comedy Going in Style. In 2017 Zach Braff (Scrubs) directed and produced a remake of the film starring Michael Caine (The Dark Knight), Morgan Freeman (The Shaw... Read More |
