The Sun is Also A Star

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/15/2019 2:26 PM EST
Do you believe in destiny or fate or love at first sight? Many romantics say they do but how many really feel that spark just from one glance? Are you more of a realistic, practical, scientific person who needs proof before you can accept things as fact? What if two people at opposite ends of the "love" spectrum meet?&nb... Read More

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

(Alyn Darnay) 5/15/2019 10:19 AM EST
Let's start by saying; if you're a John Wick fan, you won't be disappointed by this latest installment of the franchise. The same goes for Keanu Reeves fans, Halle Berry fans, Action Movie fans, and just plain well-made Pop Movie fans.Right from the very first film, you could tell this opus was always meant to be a franchise; the type of movie seri...

Cold Pursuit

(Maureen Buccellato) 5/14/2019 2:29 PM EST
Liam Neeson has certainly carved out a niche for himself in the entertainment world as the dad seeking revenge for his child being harmed/wronged. In 2008's Taken, he proved that messing with his kid could have biblical repercussions for those responsible. Now, in the black comedy Cold Pursuit, available now on 4K UHD Blu-ray, Neeson conti...

Godzilla

(Nathan M Rose) 5/13/2019 4:34 PM EST
Back in 1990, an Americanized version of Godzilla was shopped around to various "hot" directors at the time such as James Cameron, Time Burton, Paul Verhoeven, and Jan de Bout, with it eventually landing in the laps of the team responsible for the hit 1996 film Independence Day, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich.The story, un...

Tolkien

(Alyn Darnay) 5/9/2019 2:17 PM EST
"In a hole in the ground"…J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, and with those immortal words began the creation of a place known as Middle Earth, a mythological land where Hobbits dwell. "The Hobbit" was published in 1937 and received tremendous critical acclaim. It has been read, taught, admired, loved, and copied ever since.It spawned... Read More

Poms

(Alyn Darnay) 5/9/2019 9:04 AM EST
I don't know what this film about senior citizens in a retirement community is trying to be, and I don't think it knows either. Is it a comedy, a drama, a tale of female bonding through sports, or is it just about the cattiness of women? Maybe it's trying to be all those things at once, and perhaps that's why it doesn't work for me. Trying to be to... Read More

POKÉMON Detective Pikachu

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/8/2019 2:30 PM EST
If you are a child of the '90s or are the parent of one then you are surely aware of what Pokemon are. These fictional creatures live in the Pokemon Universe (of course) and have human trainers who catch them and prepare them to battle each other for sport. Each one has unique powers that they can use when fighting. This concept ... Read More

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/7/2019 10:27 AM EST
Lego Toys- The building blocks of our childhood. Lego Toys - The nightmare of every barefoot parent as they wander around the house in the dark late at night. Lego Toys- those interlocking, plastic pieces that clicked and snapped into place and fueled one's imagination. Remember the hours of enjoyment spent building people and things?&n... Read More

The Prodigy

(Maureen Buccellato) 5/7/2019 9:22 AM EST
When people start their families, they dream about what kind of person their child will be - successful, happy, kind, etc. But what if the child you have always been dreaming of becomes an evil nightmare? In The Prodigy, we see just that - a true birth of evil (although not as good as Rosemary's baby). Now, you can grab this title on Blu-ray fo... Read More

Better Call Saul: The Complete 4th Season

(Leonard Buccellato) 5/6/2019 1:47 PM EST
There are two types of people, those that love the Vince Gilligan/Peter Gould, Breaking Bad Spinoff Series, Better Call Saul, and those that are wrong! Especially if you are a fan of Breaking Bad, you owe it to yourself to watch this well thought out and incredibly well-acted series.Gilligan/Gould have created an amazingly watchable world, populate...
