(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/16/2017 2:48 PM EDT The Great Wall of China spans over 5,500 miles and took 1,700 years to build. It is made of stone, brick, and wood and was meant to keep enemies from crossing the border into China. A marvel of labor and architecture that can be seen from outer space, it has numerous stories to tell. Some of these stories include legends that are ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/9/2017 12:45 PM EDT Soccer moms rejoice! Part two of the latest favorite book trilogy is now ready to be released in movie theaters nationwide just in time for Valentine's Day. After two years of waiting, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are back on the big screen to help us once again indulge in our wildest fantasies. Fifty Shades Darker is ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 3:43 PM EDT Generally, movies with a religious undertone tend to be controversial and when Jesus is the main character, that controversy tends to be doubled. Such is the case with Mel Gibson's (Braveheart) 2004 film The Passion of The Christ. While it opened to modest acclaim and solid box office numbers, it definitely had its detractors. ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 9:50 AM EDT So much is different in other parts of the world from what we know and are used to in the United States. There are strict rules regarding women having their heads covered, what theater and music can be enjoyed, and how the police deal with crimes. Relationships between husbands and wives are also different. Yet much o... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 8:51 AM EDT We can't choose our family and many times we don't get along with them. We try to avoid getting together whenever possible but during the holidays, we often head home for a few days and suffer through the family drama. Of course, Hollywood likes to play on that drama and there is always a movie coming out dealing with ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/6/2017 8:12 AM EDT HBO is known for its award-winning television series and movies, so when one receives a Blu-ray from them, you can usually expect great things. Gripping stories, excellent production values, terrific cast and something that you would want to watch over and over again. Sadly, Vice Principals is probably one of the lower points ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/4/2017 8:17 AM EDT "John Wick is the guy you send to kill the boogeyman". Make no mistake about it, John Wick (Keanu Reeves; The Matrix) is a badass. He is not the guy you want to make angry, nor do you want to double cross him. He has skills in hand to hand combat and is an expert marksman. He will find you and make you pay before you kno...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/3/2017 10:34 AM EDT Why has travel to Mars become such a hot movie topic of late? Last year's The Martian was a cautionary tale of space exploration and the triumph of the human spirit. Other than the clichéd ending, it was a gripping and moving commentary on life and outer space. This month's The Space Between Us a... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/31/2017 10:32 AM EDT They say truth is stranger than fiction. And sometimes it can even be entertaining. Such is the case with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's movie, Masterminds. Based on a true story, the film gives a slightly humorous slant to one of the biggest bank heists in American history. Available now on Blu-ray an... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/30/2017 1:43 PM EDT In 1940, Walt Disney captured our imaginations when he brought the beloved character of Pinocchio to the theaters. Based on the Italian children's novel by Carlo Collido it teaches valuable lessons about lying and the differences between right and wrong. With lovable characters and catchy songs, it melted hearts all over the world a... Read More |
