Avengers: Endgame

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EDT
Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't. It's been eleven years and twenty-one movies in the making and now we get to watch as the Avengers battle Thanos for control of the galaxy. It's easy to say that Avengers: E... Read More

Destroyer

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 11:14 PM EDT
Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain) is such a versatile actor that one could imagine her playing almost any type of role. She was Satine in Moulin Rouge! and English author Virginia Wolf in The Hours won an Oscar for her performance in the film. Therefore it's no surprise that she fully engrosses her self in her late...

Alien

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 8:15 PM EDT
The year was 1979. The director was a mostly unknown individual named Ridley Scott (Blade Runner). The film, that changed the future look and ideas of what creatures should look and act like, was called Alien. The movie became a huge hit and made both Scott and the film's star, Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), household names. ... Read More

The legend of King Arthur and Excalibur has been around for ages. The story of the sword in the stone that can only be removed by the rightful heir has been told time and again.

Glass

(Maureen Buccellato) 4/15/2019 9:53 PM EDT
Back in 2000, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was released to pretty decent reviews. I remember sitting in the theatre and not understanding where this film was headed AT ALL. In fact, I was pretty sure I didn't like the film. Then, when the film's twist ending came into play - I was singing another tune. This film had now become AMAZI... Read More

Disneynature Penguins

(Nathan M Rose) 4/15/2019 10:04 AM EDT
Everyone knows about penguins. Almost all of us have seen them in a zoo, a cartoon, or in a film, but how much do we really know other than the fact that they waddle around and are cute? What do we really understand about their lives and mating rituals? Sure we may have seen documentaries about them before but nothing like this on... Read More

Replicas

Cloning is a hot button topic in today's world. We have the ability to do so but, the question is, should we?

In Replicas, we see what happens when the grips of grief and despair take over and you'll do anything to achieve that goal. Now, ... Read More

Laika Studio was founded in 2005 and for the past ten years they have been thrilling audiences with their stop motion animation feature film. With their first feature, Coraline, they received an academy award nomination and doubled their sixty million dollar budget. ParaNorman, their second movie, also garnered an Oscar nomination and critica... Read More

Hannah

(Stephanie Coats) 4/10/2019 11:20 AM EDT
In 2011, the film Hanna, directed by Joe Wright and starring a teenage Saoirse Ronan, was released to rave reviews from critics and audiences. It was a different kind of action film with a teenage girl at the center doing the most of the fighting. Now Amazon has taken that film, fleshed out the story, and made a new streaming series, also titled Ha... Read More
