(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. The show lasted two seasons but merchandising continued to sell for some years after. Then in 1992, we got another version called My Little Pony Tales that had 26 episodes. Almost 20 years later My Little Pony: Friend... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/8/2018 9:08 AM EDT With the success of Christopher Nolan's (Dunkirk) reimagined version of Batman in 2005's Batman Begins Warner Bros. decided to green light his second installment, The Dark Knight, which was released 3 years later.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/3/2018 11:44 AM EDT Since the Late 1980s Batman has gone through a number of iterations and in 2005 Director Christopher Nolan (Inception) got a crack at telling the story. His version, Batman Begins, was different from past attempts and was so well received that he was given the opportunity to continue his tale two more times, once in 2008 and again in 2012.&nb...

(Nathan M Rose) 1/2/2018 11:57 AM EDT Killing Gunther. Is it an action film, is it a comedy, is it the latest film to showcase the amazing talent of Arnold Schwarzenegger? Unfortunately, it is none of these things.So what exactly is Killing Gunther? In short, the movie is a "mockumentary" told through the eyes of the world of contract killers as they band together t...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 10:04 AM EDT American Made is based on the true story of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise; Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation). It's a fascinating tale of drugs, greed, guns and wealth that involves the governments of a number of countries including the United States. It chronicles Barry's life as he "worked the system" while getting involved ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 8:57 AM EDT If you look up the word inception in the dictionary, you will find this meaning - an act, process, or instance of beginning: commencement. However, for director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night) it means something slightly different. In 2010, he took that concept and applied it to one's subconscious mind and people's drea...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/28/2017 4:33 PM EDT It was a sequel seven years in the making and at the time it had been the most expensive film made to date. The visual effects surpassed everyone's expectations and when it was released on July 3, 1991, it became an instant commercial and critical success. It utilized the latest CGI technology offering audiences something they had rarel... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 12/19/2017 11:32 AM EDT Back in 2015, director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men: First Class) and famed comic book writer Mark Millar unloaded a new kind of comic book film unto the world entitled Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kingman was a slick, glossy film that wore it's R rated badge proudly. It was filled with tongue in cheek jokes, a "bondesque... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/19/2017 10:03 AM EDT In April of 2013, the landscape of Boston and the marathon were changed forever. A simple act of terrorism rocked the city and the Boston Athletic Association to its very core and kept the world waiting with bated breath as the drama unfolded. On that day at 2:49 pm, two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the race killing three people,... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 12/18/2017 5:01 PM EDT There is a plethora of movies about World War II, Wonder Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Pearl Harbor- just to name a few.
