(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/4/2016 3:19 PM EDT Hail, Caesar! is a movie with a laundry list of greats and one glaring not so great. Great Writers/Directors Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men), great actors from George Clooney (Up In the Air) and Josh Brolin (Men In Black 3) to Scarlett Johansson (Avengers) and Channing Tatum (Magic Mike XXL), and great set and costume design.&nbs...

(Nathan M Rose) 2/4/2016 9:04 AM EDT Author Seth Grahame-Smith's work came to the attention of modern movie-goers with the 2012 release Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, based upon his book of the same name. Now, in 2016, after a couple of years of being in production with several different directors and leading ladies, his New York Times bestselling novel Pride and Prejudice ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/28/2016 1:58 PM EDT Disney's The Finest Hours dramatizes the events of one of the most harrowing Coast Guard rescue missions off the Massachusetts coast in 1952. Still regarded as one the most heroic and successful rescues in Coast Guard history, the events of February 18 inspired both book and now the film, which opens in theaters on January 29th. Based on a tr... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/15/2016 9:11 AM EDT In 2014, Ice Cube (Boyz in the Hood) and Kevin Hart (Get Hard) teamed up for the hilarious comedy Ride Along. Now they are back for round two and the laughs are as abundant as ever. In Ride Along 2, the soon to be brothers-in-law once again find themselves caught up in a web of illegal activity while trying to solve a crime.Ben Barber (... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/24/2015 10:50 AM EDT Professional sports is big business. Billions of dollars a year are spent on tickets and merchandising, not to mention players' contracts. The NFL is so big they have their own day of the week, and commercial airtime for the Super Bowl costs an exorbitant amount of money for a 30 second spot. You can only imagine what would happen...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/23/2015 4:50 PM EDT I think I have finally figured out why Will Ferrell (Elf) has a movie career. It's so he can make moronic comedies that really aren't very funny. His latest endeavor, Daddy's Home, is more of the same mind numbing antics we have come to expect from him. I can only hope at some point someone has the common sense to stop... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/21/2015 3:04 PM EDT I can't decide if Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) is incredibly brilliant or deeply disturbed; probably some combination of both. And, I wonder what type of upbringing and young adult experiences shaped him into the person he has become today. Whatever the answers are it has made him a successful filmmaker with a cinematic footprint al... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 12/21/2015 11:01 AM EDT A (less than) funny thing happened on the way to the keyboard. Under my usual rock, I had no clue what the The Big Short was about (don't ask), much less what names would appear on the marquee (Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt...). Not 10 seconds into the trailer, I knew I had to see this film. I had to write ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2015 9:40 AM EDT Tina Fey (30 Rock) and Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) are pure comedy gold. Practically everything they touch turns out to be a success and their latest collaboration, Sisters, is no different. These two women can rival the best comedy duos of all time, and seeing them together on the big screen is a treat no one should miss.Fey and... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 12/16/2015 3:05 AM EDT In 1977, the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... " kicked off what would become one of the largest pop culture phenomenons in history, the Star Wars saga. The six films, countless TV shows, books, and video games that have been released have created their own little niche in today's society the world over.Now, 32 years... Read More |
