American Made

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 10:04 AM EST
American Made is based on the true story of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise; Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation). It's a fascinating tale of drugs, greed, guns and wealth that involves the governments of a number of countries including the United States. It chronicles Barry's life as he "worked the system" while getting involved ... Read More

Inception

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 8:57 AM EST
If you look up the word inception in the dictionary, you will find this meaning - an act, process, or instance of beginning: commencement. However, for director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night) it means something slightly different. In 2010, he took that concept and applied it to one's subconscious mind and people's drea... Read More

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/28/2017 4:33 PM EST
It was a sequel seven years in the making and at the time it had been the most expensive film made to date. The visual effects surpassed everyone's expectations and when it was released on July 3, 1991, it became an instant commercial and critical success. It utilized the latest CGI technology offering audiences something they had rarel... Read More

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/19/2017 11:32 AM EST
Back in 2015, director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men: First Class) and famed comic book writer Mark Millar unloaded a new kind of comic book film unto the world entitled Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kingman was a slick, glossy film that wore it's R rated badge proudly. It was filled with tongue in cheek jokes, a "bondesque... Read More

Stronger

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/19/2017 10:03 AM EST
In April of 2013, the landscape of Boston and the marathon were changed forever. A simple act of terrorism rocked the city and the Boston Athletic Association to its very core and kept the world waiting with bated breath as the drama unfolded. On that day at 2:49 pm, two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the race killing three people,... Read More

Dunkirk

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/18/2017 5:01 PM EST
There is a plethora of movies about World War II, Wonder Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Pearl Harbor- just to name a few. We are obsessed with the superheroes, the love story, the underdog, and the victims of that time period. We immerse ourselves in the romanticization of the drama and stories that are derived fro...

Victoria & Abdul

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2017 9:54 AM EST
Queen Victoria (Judi Dench; Skyfall) was known for being cantankerous and mean especially as she aged so it's interesting that later in her life she found an unlikely friendship in a poor young man from India. Their relationship became a thorn in the side of the British Empire and her household staff but she obviously didn't care and as the Q... Read More

Men in Black Trilogy

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/15/2017 2:54 PM EST
There are many people who believe there are aliens out there in the universe and some who think they live amongst us. There are also people who believe there is a secret government agency covering up the existence of aliens. Nineteen ninety-seven's comedy and subsequent sequels take a humorous look at the idea that both aliens and a... Read More

Fuller House: The Complete Second Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/14/2017 3:58 PM EST
If you were a kid of the 80's and 90's, you most likely watched Full House every week. The half-hour comedy centered on the Tanner family lead by their Patriarch, Danny Tanner (Bob Saget; America's Funniest Videos). After his wife's passing, Danny's brother in law, Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos; ... Read More

Home Again

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2017 11:18 AM EST
As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated, "It takes a village to raise a child" and it certainly seems that way in Reese Witherspoon's (Walk the Line) latest romantic comedy, Home Again. While the concept is only one part of the plot, it seems to be a fairly significant part and one of the reasons three young men are... Read More
