(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/4/2015 11:48 AM EDT Melissa McCarthy's (Heat, Identity thief) movies are hit and miss. Bridesmaids was hilariously funny but Tammy was just awful. Luckily, her latest comedy, Spy, falls into the former category with 2 hours of nonstop humor that will have you laughing out loud.McCarthy plays CIA agent Susan Cooper, who does nothing more than sit behind a c...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/21/2015 10:44 AM EDT Tomorrowland — an alternate world where everyone is happy and carefree and technological advances are beyond our wildest imaginations. Of course, things are never really as perfect as they seem. Disney's latest attempt to entwine theme parks with cinema results in an identity crisis riddled movie called Tomorrowland, out in th...

(Judith Raymer) 5/20/2015 11:26 AM EDT Eloquently understated and poignant...I'll See You In My Dreams.There are no grandiose overtures to lure the audience in, but as soon as the film starts rolling, the trance begins. The plot is incidental; the story profound.At a time when our elders are undervalued, and not fully respected as individuals, writer/director Brett Haley (The New Year; ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 5/14/2015 2:16 PM EDT "What a lovely, lovely day"In a world plagued by teenage dystopian cannon fodder, such as The Hunger Games and Divergent, Max Rockatansky has come to save us from this plague. It has been thirty years since we have seen Mad Max leaving Bartertown and the Thunderdome. Now, Warner Bros., in association with Village... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/14/2015 10:49 AM EDT It was three years in the making but Pitch Perfect 2 is finally hitting theaters. As is typical with sequels, it can't compare to its predecessor but as a whole it holds its own. I really like the first Pitch Perfect so it had "lofty shoes to fill" and while it doesn't quite get there it was actually better than I expected it ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 5/1/2015 12:01 AM EDT Marvel's Avengers: The Age of Ultron, the film with the biggest "hype meter" in the Movie Hype App, kicks off the 2015 Summer film season this Friday in North America.If the story is unknown to you, it's pretty simple. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" assemble to defend the world from utter destruction. This time... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2015 4:55 PM EDT From the trailers I decided I wanted to see Age of Adaline. It looked mildly interesting, starred actors I typically liked, and wasn't the same old action adventure, sci-fi or romantic comedy so prevalent in movie theaters today. Unfortunately, I left the theater with a sense of disappointment as Age of Adaline was predictable, un... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 4/10/2015 9:20 AM EDT If grey is too gloomy for you, try 50 (or 100) Shades of Blush. I did! But, before we get to those hot and glistening details...What you need to know about Nicholas Sparks' latest novel turned Hollywood blockbust... er... uh... hopeful...There are some acting gems in this film. Disclosure: I became a lifelong Alan Alda fan upon meet... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/3/2015 9:03 AM EDT Furious 7 is everything you would expect from the Fast and Furious franchise and so much more. Once again "the family" needs to pull together to fight against others who want to harm them. Interestingly, this time there are two menaces instead of one and a "world domination" pseudo plot is woven into the mix. In... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/26/2015 4:23 PM EDT The Boov are coming, The Boov are coming!!! What exactly are "Boov", you ask? They are the cute, colorful alien creatures at the center of Dreamworks' new theatrical release Home. Out in theaters on March 27, 2015, this animated film is an hour and a half of typical family entertainment. The Boov are a society... Read More |
