Charles Dickens was a novelist known for creating memorable characters and stories that endure. Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and David Copperfield were well-known books that are still studied in school today.

Ralph Breaks The Internet

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/19/2018 11:37 PM EDT
Six years ago we fell in love with video game characters Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly; Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) and Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman; A Million Ways to Die in the West). These two worked their way into our hearts and stayed there. We routed for them despite their "glitches" and were so happy whe... Read More

Mile 22

(Leonard Buccellato) 11/19/2018 10:58 PM EDT
When Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg work together we, the moviegoers, are undoubtedly prepared for a fast-paced and excitement-filled movie ala Deepwater Horizon and Lone Survivor. We are also likely to be treated to an action film that is able to connect its characters to the audience.Mile 22 delivers an action-centric, yet, otherwise, flawed, thril... Read More

Blindspotting

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/19/2018 4:24 PM EDT
Racism and racial profiling are unfortunately still a very large issue in this country. Nearly every month there is a major news story regarding a young black man being killed by a member of the Police force. The subject has been regurgitated time and time again in newspapers, on television, in books, and in the movies. For Blinds... Read More

Instant Family

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/18/2018 11:30 AM EDT
The old saying goes… you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your family? But what if you could? Well for some people that is exactly what happens. On average there are over 400,000 children in foster care each year and of the 135,000 children are adopted each year, 59% come from the fost... Read More

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/15/2018 9:50 AM EDT
J.K.Rowling couldn't have imagined the phenomenon she created when she originally spun a story about a magical world and a boy wizard. Like so many of the comic book superheroes, Harry Potter has become its own universe with avid fans of all ages worldwide. When the eight films ended there was a certain sadness to see it all come to... Read More

A Private War

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/14/2018 2:07 PM EDT
She was a talented writer. She had compassion and conviction. The combination made her words powerful and she became one of the most respected war correspondents in the world. That compassion and Conviction are also likely what got her killed. Running into war zones while others ran away, she told their stories… the soldier... Read More

Back in 1972, author David Morrell penned a novel entitled First Blood. It the story of a decorated Vietnam Veteran who was just returning home from the war to find that he was looked down upon and was not welcome in his own country.

The Meg

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/12/2018 10:10 PM EDT
Warner Bros. has an amazing capacity for bringing the unknown and mysterious to life. I can think of more than several movies wherein the audience becomes so invested in the characters, the storyline, and the ending that the edge of the cinema seat is the most worn part of the chair. The thriller movie of the summer can be your thriller... Read More
