(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/27/2016 11:06 AM EDT As a commentary on today's world where most of us are in a zombie like state staring at our electronic devices instead of interacting with those around us, Cell is a meaningful look at what we as a society have become. As a movie based on a Stephen King Novel of the same name, it is a horrible mess that makes little sense. It's ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/27/2016 10:12 AM EDT What happens when you peak in High School and it all goes downhill 20 years later? What happens when you were the geek in High School and now you‘ve peaked 20 years later? For Calvin (Kevin Hart; Ride Along) and Bob (Dwayne Johnson; Furious 7) that is exactly what happened in this year's Central Intelligence.Bob was the fat kid at... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/23/2016 1:53 PM EDT It's hard to believe it's been twenty-five years since Beauty and the Beast came to theaters. With its romantic story and beautiful music, it is what we think of as "Classic Disney" and even these many years later, it still holds up. It's no wonder there is a live action version set for next year. But, until then, ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 9/21/2016 11:08 AM EDT Aliens Blu-ray 30th Anniversary Edition features outer space and Sigourney Weaver and makes for one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Can you believe it's been 30 years since Sigourney Weaver graced the movie theaters as Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of her ship after the catastrophic encounter with the Alien? Who else can...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/20/2016 9:34 AM EDT The Civil War was a time of turmoil and strife in this country, especially for the southern states. The Confederate Army was full of farmers who were not quite sure why they were fighting and while they were away their farms were being ransacked by the very people they were working for. Adding to that, rich slave owners were becoming exempt f... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 9/14/2016 10:57 AM EDT Being released this week on Blu-ray & Digital DVD from Lionsgate Premier films is Marauders, an action film starring Law & Order's Christopher Meloni and Bruce Willis. Now, many may not have heard of it, mainly because it's a straight to Blu-ray release, which would seem odd considering the cast. I mean come on! You have Christopher Meloni ... Read More |
 
(Sean Ferguson) 9/13/2016 10:29 AM EDT Let me preface this with a note to all who are reading this: I am not a fan of the Horror Movie Genre. The idea of getting scared in a theater because of a made up ghost or "presence" is ridiculous! I also find it amazing that people shell out $12/$15 to have a cat or something jump into the screen, so they can scream like a teenage girl ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 9/12/2016 9:00 PM EDT A Bigger Splash is set in Rome on a Sicilian Island and stars Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange), as Marianne Lane, a rock singer, and her boyfriend, Paul De Smedt (Matthias Schoenaerts; The Danish Girl). While recovering from throat surgery, Lane's old flame and producer, Harry Hawkes (Ralph Fiennes; Harry Potter Series), and his grown daugh... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/12/2016 4:55 PM EDT Pop music is a staple on the radio and won't be going anywhere anytime soon. It's also ripe for jokes and ridicule. The outrageous things popstars do just to get attention can be mind blowing sometimes. I can't think of anyone better to parody this genre than Saturday Night Live Alumni Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).Conne... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 9/12/2016 3:29 PM EDT Everyone loves to see the good guys beat the bad guys but watching it happen in the first fifteen minutes of a movie is exceptional. Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, the third in a trilogy starring Chris Evans as the World War II-made hero, Captain America, shows that three is a charm. Bringing all the Avengers characters togeth... Read More |
