John Wick

(Nathan M Rose) 10/23/2014 3:20 PM EDT
Keanu Reeves has had a very turbulent career. It first started out in mainly comedic and dramatic roles. Then his first big action role was staring as Johnny Utah in Point Break alongside Patrick Swayze (Red Dawn, Dirty Dancing). This was followed up with smash hit Speed, and finally his most well know action films, The Matrix Trilogy. After that t... Read More

Fury

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/17/2014 2:19 PM EDT
I'm not sure what the fascination is with WWII movies in the past 20 years but there have been several made on the subject. Fury is the latest addition to this list. Set in Germany, just before the end of the war, Fury tackles a different aspect of the war than its predecessors had – life inside a Sherman tank. Fury fol... Read More

Book of Life

The Book of Life, the latest animated film from producer Guillermo Del Torro (The Strain, Pacific Rim) is a lighthearted, fun movie with a message. Set around the Mexican Holiday of "The Day of The Dead", it portrays love, dishonesty, disappointment and courage in a family friendly way. While it is a cute film that should do w... Read More

The Good Lie

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/16/2014 12:10 PM EDT
"The good lie" is when not telling the truth is for the betterment of others; "the end justifies the means" so to speak. It's a heartfelt a sentiment especially when you know the reason for the lie is ultimately the best choice even though you know it's wrong. The Good Lie, a new film from Warner Bros. illustrates th... Read More

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

(Judith Raymer) 10/10/2014 9:35 AM EDT
Watching Kelly Cooper (Jennifer Garner; Alias) navigate the daily grind of parenthood, I couldn't help but feel like the inspiration for this film (as many a mother/father out there will feel when watching it themselves). Watching her bike through traffic in a race to reach Dick van Dyke before a (mis)reading of a children's book remi... Read More
