Castle Rock The Complete First Season
![]() (Nathan M Rose) 1/7/2019 11:23 PM EST Hailing from the mind of Stephen King, Castle Rock is a town used in most of his novels, and now with the resurgence of Stephen King films, Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason took the opportunity - with the blessing of the master of horror himself- Stephen King, to create an Anthology Series entitled Castle Rock, with a cast of actors from some of ...

Night School
![]() (Sean McCloskey) 1/2/2019 8:46 PM EST Giving the go-ahead to a comedy with Kevin Hart (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) and Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) set in a high school, being directed by the proven Malcolm D. Lee, had to have been one of the easiest movie studio decisions of the year. Neither actor ever really strays too far from their standard material and you generally kn... Read More |
White Boy Rick
![]() (Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/1/2019 10:03 PM EST Richard Wershe Jr. (newcomer Richie Merritt) was born on July 1969 but never stood a chance at having a normal life. He lived in Detroit, Michigan with his father, who sold guns illegally, and his drug addict sister. At fourteen years old he became the youngest ever FBI informant but was abandoned when three years alter he was arrested ... Read More |
The Predator
![]() (Sean McCloskey) 12/28/2018 11:17 AM EST Being a fan of the Predator series I was excited when a new one was announced and was released in theaters this fall. However, The Predator just didn't live up to my expectations. The problem is I can't exactly pinpoint exactly why. The movie wasn't bad - I was entertained but for some reason, I just didn't like it. The... Read More |
The House with a Clock in Its Walls
![]() (Leonard Buccellato) 12/21/2018 4:28 PM EST I have a Love-Hate relationship with Eli Roth.I can count the number of movies of his, which I have actually enjoyed, on 2 fingers. On the other hand, I think his enthusiasm and love for, and knowledge of, classic horror, and Genre movies, in general, is really admirable. Not to mention, he really seems like a genuinely good guy. But back to ... Read More |
A Simple Favor
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2018 9:32 AM EST Actor/ Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) is known for his quirky, offbeat comedies so it's no surprise that he decided to tackle Darcey Bell's dark comedy/thriller A Simple Favor. Outwardly, It seems like a perfect match as he infuses his personality into every thread of the movie but there is a seriousness that permeates which is some... Read More |
Venom
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 4:58 PM EST In order to bring us the thriller Venom, Columbia Pictures, Sony, and Marvel worked in conjunction and from the previews, Venom looked like the typical alien type scary movie. I was very unsure of how it would set itself apart from all the other alien movies but Venom brings out the alien in everyone and is actually a carefully scripted cohe... Read More |
River Runs Red
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:59 AM EST Racial profiling is an issue that seems to be plaguing this country more and more in the past few years. Young, male minorities end up on the wrong side of an argument and are senselessly killed when a person in authority pulls a gun unnecessarily. We have seen numerous news reports about it happening and several films based on this typ... Read More |
We, the Marines
![]() (Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:11 AM EST Semper Fidelis – Always Loyal… That is the motto of the United States Marine Corps. Unless you have served as a Marine, you cannot really understand what that means. Up until now, our perception of what being a marine is like is what we have seen in the media. Movies like Full Metal Jacket and Born on The 4th of July ... Read More |
Peppermint
![]() (Jennifer Broderick) 12/15/2018 6:31 PM EST Parents will do almost anything for their children, but sometimes a grieving parent will do more than anything because they have no choice. They break the law, they don't care about consequences, and revenge replaces the word justice in a parents mind. Lakeshore Entertainment and Universal Pictures provide a grim portrayal of what...
