(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/26/2017 4:51 PM EDT If you thought Seasons One and Two of the hit television show Empire where chock full, then get ready for Season Three. Available now on DVD, the eighteen episode season really packs a punch. From drama, murder, backstabbing and a new baby in the mix, the weekly nighttime soap opera seems to be hitting all the marks necessary ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/25/2017 3:18 PM EDT A good run for a television show is about four to five seasons, so when you have one that is still going through Season Eight with renewals for another two seasons, you know it's a quality show. When that same show has been nominated every year for an Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy and has won the award five out of Eight years it speaks v... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/21/2017 2:10 PM EDT In 1987, the movie Lethal Weapon brought us the comedy/action team of Mel Gibson (Braveheart) and Danny Glover (Shooter) and it was so genius it spawned three sequels. Almost 20 years after the last film hit theaters, the powers that be (seemingly out of fresh ideas) decided to make it into a television series. Season One aired... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/20/2017 11:55 AM EDT For the past ten years, the television show The Big Bang Theory has made us laugh. With a renewal for at least two more seasons, we can rest assured the gang will all be together and geeky as ever. This group of "scientists" has taught us more than we ever thought they could and has made being a nerd seem almost cool... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/19/2017 9:53 AM EDT One of the most highly anticipated movies of 2017, Wonder Woman did not disappoint. While some felt it pushed a feminist agenda, many more saw it as a positive example of female empowerment and people of all ages flocked to it in droves. With the rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics at an all-time high, this film is certa... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/14/2017 4:32 PM EDT I was eleven years old when E.T. The Extra-terrestrial movie came to theaters. I can remember with fondness being enchanted by the little, brown, wrinkled alien with the big eyes and glowing fingertip who only wanted to find a way back home and the young boy determined to help him. I also remember running out to buy the best, ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/6/2017 4:26 PM EDT The coolest retirees you know are back! Frank Moss (Bruce Willis; Die Hard), Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich; Empire of the Sun), and Victoria (Helen Mirren; Eye in the Sky) are once again wielding guns and kicking ass. Remember in 2010 we loved Red – Retired, extremely dangerous? Well, in 2013, Red 2&nb... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/5/2017 4:34 PM EDT Every wonder what happens to old spies when they retire? Do they sit around reliving the "glory days"? Do they take up hobbies such as painting and needlepoint? Or do they spend their days at target practice hoping for one last job to keep things exciting? For former CIA agent Frank Moss (Bruce Willis; Die Ha... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/5/2017 11:51 AM EDT In the making for the past seven years, All Eyez on Me finally hit theaters this year in June. After the success of Straight Outta Compton two years earlier, the audience seemed ripe for another rap biopic, this time about the late Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp, Jr.). Built up into a martyr, the film chronicles his l... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/5/2017 10:24 AM EDT Some of the best horror movies take place in remote locations cut off from civilization. Just from its title, you know The Cabin in the Woods is that kind of movie - at least it seems so from the onset. From the brain child of Joss Whedon (Firefly) and Drew Goddard (DareDevil), the movie chronicles five college students wh... Read More |
