(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/30/2018 11:53 AM EDT There have been some great movies released in the last 25 years and several of them include a baseball theme. As "America's pastime" it is the quintessential vehicle with which to tell any number of stories including a coming of age tale set during the 1960's. On the surface, The Sandlot seems to be merely about some p... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/28/2018 11:20 PM EDT Ready Player One – If you grew up in the 1980's you know that phrase well, especially if you loved video games. The words popped up every time a new game started enticing the player to prepare. It is also the title of a New York Times bestselling book by Ernest Cline (Fanboys) that found its protagonist living in both a vi... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/26/2018 4:55 PM EDT In the ever-continuing saga that is the Star Wars Universe, we were introduced to new characters in 2015 when the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted. We met Kylo Ren (Adam Driver; Girls) who is the heir apparent to Darth Vader, Poe (Oscar Isaac; Ex Machina) who works for the rebellion, Finn (J... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/26/2018 4:00 PM EDT In 1985, Canadian author Margaret Atwood published her dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale. The controversial story is set in New England and focuses on Offred, a handmaid who is suppressed in a totalitarian Christian society that has overthrown the United States Government. While often banned over the past 30 plus years, the book ... Read More |
(Maureen Buccellato) 3/23/2018 2:52 PM EDT In 1995, Robin Williams starred in Jumanji, bringing us a funny, yet touching, film about a boy who gets trapped inside an old board game. Fast forward 22 years to 2017 and Jumanji was brought back to life, this time as an antiquated video game in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. A group of four high schoolers, Spencer... Read More |
(Eric English) 3/22/2018 3:26 PM EDT To call ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi' controversial is a monumental understatement. Opening to rave reviews and unbridled anticipation, the cultural juggernaut slammed into a brick wall of fan outrage and disappointment. Perhaps no other film in the history of cinema (save the Star Wars prequels) has split the fanbase along the lin... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/22/2018 8:27 AM EDT In 2013, Writer/Director (and recent academy award winner) Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water) introduced us to the Kaiju – alien creatures from another dimension who set out to destroy humanity and take over Earth. To combat these creatures, humans developed humongous robots called jaegers that require two, neurologically synced pi... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/20/2018 10:02 AM EDT Stereotypically bulls are seen as strong creatures that are angry and aggressive. In Hispanic cultures, they are used for sport and bullfighting and, as the bull, being chosen to "fight" the Matador is considered an honor. From the time they are born these bulls are groomed to be fighters in the ring. But what if they ar... Read More |
(Victoria L Hanson) 3/20/2018 9:10 AM EDT The Bella's are back, but not in the way you remember them. In this film, the Bella's are now out of college and each handling it in different ways, but they don't like their new status to say the least. When the opportunity comes to get back together again on a USO tour, they can't help but resist. Yet this isn't just your typi... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/19/2018 11:07 AM EDT Lego is a huge corporation that has expanded their universe over the past several years, incorporating new ways to get their products out to the public. This endeavor has included branching out into movies and television and showcasing well-known and beloved characters. In 2016, they decided to lend their name to probably the most well-...
