Pitch Perfect 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/14/2015 10:49 AM EDT
It was three years in the making but Pitch Perfect 2 is finally hitting theaters. As is typical with sequels, it can't compare to its predecessor but as a whole it holds its own. I really like the first Pitch Perfect so it had "lofty shoes to fill" and while it doesn't quite get there it was actually better than I expected it ... Read More

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Marvel's Avengers: The Age of Ultron, the film with the biggest "hype meter" in the Movie Hype App, kicks off the 2015 Summer film season this Friday in North America.If the story is unknown to you, it's pretty simple. "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" assemble to defend the world from utter destruction. This time... Read More

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

(Judith Raymer) 4/10/2015 9:20 AM EDT
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

Home

The Boov are coming, The Boov are coming!!! What exactly are "Boov", you ask? They are the cute, colorful alien creatures at the center of Dreamworks' new theatrical release Home. Out in theaters on March 27, 2015, this animated film is an hour and a half of typical family entertainment. The Boov are a society... Read More

Cinderella

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/13/2015 10:09 AM EDT
Cinderella…We have all seen it in some form or another. The story has been told time and again. Of course, arguably the best version is the Disney animated classic. 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

Kingsman: The Secret Service

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/11/2015 12:02 PM EDT
Who doesn't love a good spy movie? Action, adventure, intrigue and great gadgets all blending together to create an enjoyable movie experience. Throw in a strong, seasoned group of actors and you have the makings of a great film. Twentieth Century Fox had attempted to tackle this genre with Kingsman: The Secret Service being... Read More
