HBO has a long history of creating quality television with fantastic drama series and humorous comedies alike. This year they continued that tradition with Barry, the Bill Harder (Trainwreck) half hour sitcom.

Who didn't grow up with the beloved story of Peter Pan? Can't you just remember of watching Wendy, John, and Michael as they learned to fly and followed Peter to Neverland? And of course who could forget the lovely fairy, Tinkerbell who was so jealous of Wendy that she tried to sabotage Wendy every chance she could. It was a wonde... Read More

Skyscraper

(Maureen Buccellato) 10/10/2018 2:33 PM EDT
Dwayne Johnson (The Fate of The Furious) has certainly come a long way in his career. Not only has he proven himself to be good at comedy but also has also stuck with his biggest strength - action films. His larger than life persona makes him the perfect guy for these types of roles, and Skyscraper is no exception.The film featu... Read More

Eighth Grade

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 10/9/2018 10:31 AM EDT
Who can forget those awkward teenage years when everything seemed catastrophic including one little pimple that may be here today, gone tomorrow? Or begging your parents to buy you the latest fashion, game, etc and screaming at them and pouting when they refused? And of course, the most dreaded place on earth in any teenager's live&...

America, the land of the free, the home of the brave, and also the home of the Purge.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Third Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 9/27/2018 11:40 AM EDT
DC's Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Third Season changed its plot just a little bit this season and its focus brings a fresh perspective to its Third Season. Usually, the Legends are chasing bad guys but they messed up in Season Two, fractured their timeline, and created anachronisms – 21 to be exact- that they need to correct ... Read More

American Psycho

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/25/2018 11:46 AM EDT
In 1991 Bret Easton Ellis brought us his novel about a Wall Street serial killer called American Psycho. It was not without controversy and many retailers refused to stock it in their stores. It is disturbing while mildly satirical as it mocks both the gluttony of the 1980's Wall Street and the depravity of a sick, murderous mind. ... Read More

The Punisher

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/25/2018 10:04 AM EDT
The Punisher made his debut in Marvel Comics The Amazing Spider-Man #129 Comic Book in 1974. When he arrived he was a vigilante and deadly but certainly no saint or superhero. He murdered, kidnapped, extorted, coerced and did almost anything necessary to rid the world of criminals including the Mob family that killed his wife and children.&nb... Read More

X-men Trilogy Box Set

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/25/2018 9:13 AM EDT
In 1963 a group of mutants first made their appearance in Marvel Comic Books. They were called the X-Men. Almost forty years later the first feature film about this group of beings with extraordinary powers made its way to theaters. Directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects) it was pretty well received by critics and audiences alike.... Read More

The Gift: The Complete First Season

(Nathan M Rose) 9/24/2018 4:38 PM EDT
Back in 2000 comic book films changed forever with the release of Brian Singer's (Bohemian Rhapsody) X-MEN film. The film was followed by two sequels, two Wolverine films, and a secondary trilogy that solidified its "cinematic universe". Now the X-Men cinematic universe has come to television in the form of The Gifted.Set in an alte... Read More
