(Nathan M Rose) 05/23/2017 12:09 AM EDT Meeting the girlfriend's family for the first time can be nerve-wracking, especially when she is white and they haven't been told that you are an African-American male. Let's face it, for all the talk, racism still exists in this country. That was the dilemma for Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya; Sicario). He was going to the home ... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 05/16/2017 9:39 AM EDT Usually when you think of a western movie you think of horses, gunslingers, saloons, and cowboys. 1992's Academy Award winner for best picture, Unforgiven, has all that and more. With Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino) at the helm, both directing and starring in it, the movie opened to well deserved critical praise and became an aud... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 05/16/2017 9:18 AM EDT Resident Evil is the longest running female action series in movie history. Based on a video game, the first film made it's way to theaters in 2002 and fifteen years later we have movie number six, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, hitting stores on 4K, Blu-ray and Digital Download.

(Jennifer Broderick) 05/15/2017 4:28 PM EDT There have always been space movies spattered throughout the years and they all seem to instill a sense of survival mode while watching. You root for the astronaut to hold his breath when the face mask cracks; you hope the rocket will have enough fuel to make it safely back home, and you pray that the Apollo doesn't burn up re-entering th...

(Nathan M Rose) 05/09/2017 10:58 AM EDT Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner… It was with these words the world was introduced to the trailer for the Michael Mann (Public Enemies) film that would become a classic. Bringing together two powerhouse actors face to face for the firs... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 05/09/2017 9:56 AM EDT In the past, there have been television shows about life in prison. That is nothing original. However, most of them focus on men in prison so when Orange is the New Black, which views life in a women's correctional facility, debuted on Netflix on July 11, 2013, it was somewhat groundbreaking. Not only was it differen... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 05/08/2017 5:07 PM EDT For those who might have missed the theatrical release (and, those who didn't), the highly anticipated Fifty Shades Darker is being released on Blu-ray & DVD (with a Digital HD copy included).

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 05/08/2017 4:22 PM EDT HBO has more original programming than ever before and the majority of it is top notch, award winning fare. This year, they added another show to their line up and it seems to want to continue the tradition of excellence they have put forth. Divorce debuted on October 9, 2016, and by November it had been renewed for a second season. &nb... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 05/02/2017 1:59 PM EDT It always amazes me as to what makes a picture popular. Is it the stars headlining the film? Is it the studio that releases the film? Is it all the advertising used to promote it? What if it all came down to the story that drove the film? If that were the case, The Salesman would be a box office success right up there alongside Logan... Read More |
