The Age of Adaline

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2015 4:55 PM EDT
From the trailers I decided I wanted to see Age of Adaline. It looked mildly interesting, starred actors I typically liked, and wasn't the same old action adventure, sci-fi or romantic comedy so prevalent in movie theaters today. Unfortunately, I left the theater with a sense of disappointment as Age of Adaline was predictable, un... Read More

The Longest Ride

If grey is too gloomy for you, try 50 (or 100) Shades of Blush. I did! But, before we get to those hot and glistening details...What you need to know about Nicholas Sparks' latest novel turned Hollywood blockbust... er... uh... hopeful...There are some acting gems in this film. Disclosure: I became a lifelong Alan Alda fan upon meet... Read More

Furious 7

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/3/2015 9:03 AM EDT
Furious 7 is everything you would expect from the Fast and Furious franchise and so much more. Once again "the family" needs to pull together to fight against others who want to harm them. Interestingly, this time there are two menaces instead of one and a "world domination" pseudo plot is woven into the mix. In... Read More

Now Disney is trying to outdo itself with a live action movie out in theaters today.This latest attempt is directed by Kenneth Branagh (Thor) and stars Lily James (Do... Read More

"You don't need money, don't take fameDon't need no credit card to ride this trainIt's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimesbut it might just save your lifeThat's the power of love" It's amazing how something can just whisk you off in time. Hear those lyrics and what do you think? July 3rd 30 yea... Read More

Fifty Shades of Grey

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2015 2:07 PM EDT
Ok I admit it…I read the books. Well, I haven't finished the third one yet but I figure I still have time before they make it into a movie. Of course I'm speaking of the fan fiction turned novel turn major motion picture juggernaut that is Fifty Shade of Grey. From the moment the film adaptation was announced t... Read More
