My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2016 10:44 AM EDT
Opa! Nia Vardalos (Connie and Carla) does it again. A sequel 14 years in the making, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 has all the laughs and emotional baggage we loved the first time around. All of our favorite characters return to remind us of the craziness surrounding the Portokalos family, while they navigate through new challenges&h... Read More

Allegiant

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/17/2016 2:17 PM EDT
There are some movies that are going to make money regardless of if they are good or bad. Allegiant is one of those movies. With a built in audience, and two films preceding it, it is sure to be a winner at the box office. Whether it is good or not is a matter of perspective.In the continuing saga of Tris&... Read More

10 Cloverfield Lane

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/10/2016 4:49 PM EDT
Anyone who would say 10 Cloverfield Lane is a sequel to 2008's Cloverfield would be wrong. It's more like the long distance cousin…they share a few similarities, but are very different on almost every level. Gone is the shaky, "home video" footage used in the first movie. No more guessing who the enemy is ... Read More

Zootopia

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/3/2016 9:26 PM EDT
Known for their cute, fun animated feature films, Disney takes a drastic turn with their new release, Zootopia. Usually shying away from controversial topics, this time they delve in head on to one of the most stressful topics plaguing our country right now - racial tension. Along with other moral messages, the film artfully navig... Read More

London Has Fallen

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/3/2016 2:55 PM EDT
For those who loved 2013's Olympus Has Fallen, this year's sequel, London Has Fallen, will surely live up to expectations. Many of the original cast has returned to make this action adventure film familiar on so many levels and enticing to fans of the original. However, with a new director (Babak Najafi; Banshee Origins) on board, there are e... Read More

Gods of Egypt

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/25/2016 6:30 PM EDT
In 22 years, Director Alex Proyas (The Crow) has made 6 major motion pictures. Some have become cult classics, while others were less than memorable. Regardless, one can usually discern a Proyas film, as his directing style is somewhat unique and his latest creation, Gods of Egypt, is no exception. With sweeping visuals, reminiscent of ...

Zoolander 2

(Sean Ferguson) 2/12/2016 10:02 AM EDT
RELAX, They've Done It!It's right time nowWell, now…It's hard to believe it's been 15 years since Ben Stiller gave us fashion Icon Derek Zoolander bursting onto the big screen in the 2001 classic Zoolander. Love it, or hate it, there seemed to be no in-between for those that saw it. For those that loved it, it became a classic with lines... Read More

How To Be Single

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/11/2016 10:02 AM EDT
Being single sucks. At least to most women that's the way it seems. We spend years trying to find the "perfect guy" only to realize he isn't so perfect. But the alternative of being alone is so scary to some that they will do almost anything just to be in a relationship.Not Alice (Dakota Johnson; Fifty Shades of ... Read More

Deadpool

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/8/2016 10:17 AM EDT
Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds; Green Lantern) is no super hero. In fact, he is probably the anti-super hero. He doesn't care about justice, unless it involves his own quest for revenge. He isn't interested in saving lives or bringing down the bad guys, again, unless it serves his purpose. He's funny, crass, sarcastic, sel... Read More

The Choice

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/5/2016 9:03 AM EDT
Never judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, never judge a movie by its trailer.Nicholas Sparks' latest feature film, The Choice, looked less than appealing based on the two minutes I saw online. The story held no interest for me and the main characters had no chemistry, or so it seemed. To be honest, I seriously thought abou... Read More
