(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/27/2016 9:53 AM EDT Edward Snowden has been called many things... patriot, traitor, whistle-blower, etc. Some feel what he did was necessary in order to keep our government in check, while others thought he did irrevocable damage to our national security. Regardless of your feelings, there is no doubt he is a brave and polarizing figure. Based on an ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/22/2016 10:00 AM EDT Can you remember the first time you met your future in-laws? Or the first time your son or daughter brought home their new boyfriend/girlfriend? Hollywood has been playing on this theme over and over again from Guess Who's Coming To Dinner to Meet The Fockers. The latest addition to this grouping is Twentieth Century Fox's Why Him...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/21/2016 10:12 AM EDT November 22, 1963, was the day Camelot ended and changed the face of politics in the United States forever. John F. Kennedy was our 35th President and one of the most beloved. His trip to Dallas, Texas was meant to bring a divided State back to the Democratic Party. Instead, John F. Kennedy was assassinated right in front of his w... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/20/2016 12:28 PM EDT As long as we've been looking up at the sky and stars, interstellar travel has long been a goal and dream of the human race. As technology has advanced in recent years, that goal seems more and more obtainable. While not completely realized yet, we will hopefully have the ability to travel and colonize other planets in the next 100 or s... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/15/2016 10:31 AM EDT In the golden age of Hollywood movie studios, elaborate movie musicals were part of the culture. Stars like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers were household names and their dancing and singing abilities were well known. Gone are the days of stars singing and dancing into our hearts in big budget pictures but writer Director Da... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/13/2016 6:46 PM EDT In the late 1970s, a trilogy of films captured hearts all over the world. Star Wars captivated us and spawned one of the most successful franchises ever. In the late 1990s, and early 2000s, the next three films were successful while being met with mixed reviews. Last year, the saga continued with Episode VII, Star Wars: The F... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/13/2016 12:22 PM EDT In David Frankel's (The Devil Wears Prada) new film, Collateral Beauty, the title is defined as "the profound connection to everything". The movie explores how we interact with people, space, etc. and what mark we leave on them. It makes us think, and wonder, and forces us to question our purpose in life and in our everyday acti...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2016 9:17 PM EDT Ben-Hur – the title alone conjures up images of excellence in literature and filmmaking. In 1880, the novel was published with modest success originally but became more popular when it was recommended reading by Clergy. Then, in 1925, it was made into a silent film and also became successful. In 1959, it was once again reima... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/8/2016 5:32 PM EDT It's that time of year again. Everyone is celebrating the end of the year and the holiday season. Many companies hold office parties for the employees and, sometimes, crazy things happen during those gatherings. Employees can even occasionally get fired after inappropriate behavior at said party. But what if, as a boss, you had to... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2016 11:35 PM EDT They say people are a product of their environment, although I'm not exactly sure who "they" are. However, for one Boston area neighborhood, it seems to be a true statement. Charlestown, a lower income area, raises a large number of criminals, especially bank robbers. For Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck; The Account... Read More |
