(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/13/2017 10:22 AM EDT Patti Cakes, Patti Cakes, bakers…this isn't that kind of movie. When one hears the term "patty cake", we generally think of the beloved children's game and hear that song running through our head. In this case, Patti Cake$ takes on a whole new meaning as it is a nickname Patricia Dombrowski's (Danielle Macdona... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/10/2017 11:39 AM EDT It's hard to believe that it was twenty-five years ago that Kate (Catherine O'Hara; Frankenweenie) and Peter (John Heard; Big) McCallister lost track of their son Kevin (Macaulay Culkin; My Girl) for the second time in two years as the family went on vacation. I mean…really!?! Who forgets their ki... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 11/7/2017 10:53 AM EDT Netflix has created an empire all unto themselves with their Netflix originals- both with their movies and television series. A unique feature of Netflix is that they refuse to release their shows on a weekly basis, letting their viewers binge the show all at once. Thank goodness for that, because The Crown, a story abou...

(Nathan M Rose) 11/6/2017 5:02 PM EDT Westworld, HBO's science fiction series based on the 1973 Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) film of the same name, has taken viewers into a world where anything you desire can be yours. If you haven't had a chance to catch Season One, now's your chance. Available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Westworld promises a ride you w... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 11/6/2017 11:46 AM EDT Let's all admit it. By the time a franchise is into its third sequel, the audience starts wondering if it's really worth spending the time and money going to see movie number three. It's a good thing that the writers and directors of Cars 3 are a step (or two) above other franchises because Cars 3 is going so fast, n... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/6/2017 10:46 AM EDT So many times in Hollywood films the alcoholism of one of the characters becomes the main focus of the film. We see the individual falling down, slurring their words, making horrible life choices, being abusive and destroying, at best, their own lives and at worst the lives of those around them. While The Glass Castle addresses the ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 10/26/2017 9:14 AM EDT A common phobia seems to be the fear of dolls, particularly old, porcelain dolls. When you have that fear and couple it with the doll actually being possessed, it's the stuff nightmares are made of. Creepy looking faces that talk would probably make anyone run away screaming but Annabelle definitely evokes that reaction.In the latest... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/24/2017 10:06 AM EDT In 2011, The Planet of the Apes saga found itself getting a reboot from the 1970's version of the story. In this reimagined world, we see how the apes became more intelligent as the movie focused on one specific ape named Caesar (Andy Serkis; The Lord of the Rings Trilogy). Caesar was born in a science lab where the ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/23/2017 5:08 PM EDT Over the years there have been numerous films that include the sport of boxing as a backdrop and even a few that include wrestling but until 2011's Warrior there has never been a movie that showcases the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting. Just like Rocky or Million Dollar Baby, the action itself isn't th... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/20/2017 4:01 PM EDT Alfred Hitchcock is arguably one of the best directors of all time. Known as the "Master of Suspense" he helped to innovate psychological thriller films and influence many of the directors working today. His "personal view" approach to camera work has been copied countless times over as it seems to create a more inti... Read More |
