It seems anything can be made into a superhero-themed book/show/movie these days and DC comics proved that when they created the Teen Titans comic book series that became an animated television show in 2013.

Sorry to Bother You

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 10:20 PM EDT
How many times have you just sat down to dinner after a long, hard day of work when suddenly the phone rings. While mildly annoying to have to get up and answer it, it becomes even more frustrating when you find yourself trapped at one end of the phone while a telemarketer at the other end tries to sell you something you don't want or need. A... Read More

Law Abiding Citizen

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 9:25 PM EDT
As Americans we expect our judicial system to protect us from the most hardened criminals. Those who violently break our laws should be locked behind bars to keep the innocent people of this country safe. At least that is what we hope would happen. Unfortunately, due to loopholes and prison overcrowding, this isn't always the case. ... Read More

Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series

(Maureen Buccellato) 10/24/2018 9:35 AM EDT

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

(Nathan M Rose) 10/23/2018 9:42 AM EDT
If you love music from the 1970's Swedish pop group ABBA then you surely loved 2008's movie based on the musical filled with their songs, called Mamma Mia! If, like me, you aren't a fan, then that movie and this year's sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again certainly weren't your cup of tea. Luckily for the former grouping, the second film is se...

The Twilight Saga: Extended Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/23/2018 8:37 AM EDT
Human beings seem to be fascinated by anything supernatural. Werewolves, ghosts, and vampires are often the subject of stories in books, on television and in movies. In 2005 author Stephenie Meyer threw her hat in the ring with her young adult novel Twilight. The book was a best seller, which spawned 3 more books in the series and... Read More

Twilight

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/22/2018 4:50 PM EDT
It's hard to imagine that it has been ten years since Twilight first graced the big screen. In 2005 the vision of writer Stephenie Meyer was published and became a sensation not only amongst young adults but by adults as well. Edward, Bella, and Jacob captivated people's imaginations and spawned three more books and a total of five movi... Read More

Whitney

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/16/2018 9:54 AM EDT
If one were to compile a list of the greatest female singers of all time it would certainly include Aretha Franklin, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Mariah Carey. The list, of course, would be incomplete though without the addition of the incomparable Whitney Houston. The daughter of Cissy Houston and cousin of singer Dionne Warwick... Read More
