Wind River

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/11/2017 10:06 AM EST
I was going to make a joke about "two Avengers walk onto an Indian reservation" but Wind River is no laughing matter. Based on a true story, it is a hard look at life on a reservation and the forgotten Native Americans who live there. A true crime drama, there is more going on than meets the eye, offering up all ...

Blindspot: The Complete Second Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 08/08/2017 8:38 AM EST
Suspenseful dramas that captivate the audience week upon week and keep them engaged are a rare find, and if you watch Warner Bros. Blindspot you will know that there are not many shows made like this one. Created by Martin Gero and produced by Greg Berlanti, who has worked on Everwood as well as the DC's Arrowverse, no won...

The Dinner

(Andres Andy Rozo, Jr) 08/07/2017 4:39 PM EST
You're invited to see "The Dinner" for a not so fun and yet thought provoking two hours. At first, you'll be confused, at least, I was, by the narration and exactly what is going on in this third incarnation (Dutch and Italian were first & second) of Herman Koch's 2009 book about two estranged brothers and their families.Stan Lohman (...

Crashing: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/07/2017 9:46 AM EST

It can also mean staying with friends unexpectedly ... Read More

Big Little Lies

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/01/2017 3:27 PM EST
HBO is on a roll. Most of their shows and documentaries are excellent productions that win awards and critical praise. Of course, I'm sure it's easier to create top quality work when only 7-13 episodes are being produced but the production quality is top rate nonetheless. One of their latest endeavors is a seven part miniseries ca... Read More

Going in Style

In 1979 George Burns (Oh, God!), Art Carney (Last Action Hero) and Lee Strasberg (...and justice for all) starred in director Martin Brest's (Scent of a Woman) comedy Going in Style. In 2017 Zach Braff (Scrubs) directed and produced a remake of the film starring Michael Caine (The Dark Knight), Morgan Freeman (The Shaw... Read More

Ever wonder what it's like working for a large Tech company? How would you like to be able to access information and be "dialed in" 24 hours a day/7 days a week? What if it isn't all it's cracked up to be? People warn that technology is taking over our world and The Circle gives one scenario of how things could be.Based on the book ... Read More

Shooter: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 07/29/2017 6:33 PM EST
In March of 1993, Stephen Hunter (Black Light) wrote a novel called Point of Impact. Fourteen years later the novel was made into the movie Shooter starring Mark Wahlberg (Deepwater Horizon). Ten years after that USA network has brought a new adaptation with the same name to television. Season one of Shooter had ten episodes last year and sea... Read More
