Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/28/2017 5:17 PM EST
J.K. Rowling came up with a brilliant idea- a boy who is a wizard and gets into a load of scrapes with his friends. The story continues in the second book and therefore, the second movie, courtesy of - or should we say luckily enough- provided by Warner Bros. Studios. Harry Potter is a mix of fantasy and adventure and mystery ... Read More

Ever wanted to pull off the perfect heist? Ever have the opportunity and think you could plan a way to steal millions of dollars? What if that plan included breaking someone out of prison for less than 12 hours and sneaking them back in before the prison guards noticed they were gone?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/27/2017 7:34 PM EST
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is really the first movie in the Harry Potter Franchise where we can really see that Harry Potter would be lost without his friends. He is a true Gryffindor- loyal to all his friends and brave to the point of sometimes stupidity (which is why we love Harry Potter)- but clearly not so much as cut out for Rav... Read More

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/14/2017 11:04 AM EST
Ever since Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) was a ten-year-old boy, he has been fascinated with the French graphic novel Valerian and Laureline and has been trying to make it into a major motion picture for years. He even waived his salary for the film since it was a lifelong passion of his. This year saw the fruit of his labors... Read More
