A Simple Favor

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2018 9:32 AM EST
Actor/ Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) is known for his quirky, offbeat comedies so it's no surprise that he decided to tackle Darcey Bell's dark comedy/thriller A Simple Favor. Outwardly, It seems like a perfect match as he infuses his personality into every thread of the movie but there is a seriousness that permeates which is some... Read More

Venom

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 4:58 PM EST
In order to bring us the thriller Venom, Columbia Pictures, Sony, and Marvel worked in conjunction and from the previews, Venom looked like the typical alien type scary movie. I was very unsure of how it would set itself apart from all the other alien movies but Venom brings out the alien in everyone and is actually a carefully scripted cohe... Read More

River Runs Red

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:59 AM EST
Racial profiling is an issue that seems to be plaguing this country more and more in the past few years. Young, male minorities end up on the wrong side of an argument and are senselessly killed when a person in authority pulls a gun unnecessarily. We have seen numerous news reports about it happening and several films based on this typ... Read More

We, the Marines

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:11 AM EST
Semper Fidelis – Always Loyal… That is the motto of the United States Marine Corps. Unless you have served as a Marine, you cannot really understand what that means. Up until now, our perception of what being a marine is like is what we have seen in the media. Movies like Full Metal Jacket and Born on The 4th of July ... Read More

Peppermint

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/15/2018 6:31 PM EST
Parents will do almost anything for their children, but sometimes a grieving parent will do more than anything because they have no choice. They break the law, they don't care about consequences, and revenge replaces the word justice in a parents mind. Lakeshore Entertainment and Universal Pictures provide a grim portrayal of what...

The Favourite

(Alyn Darnay) 12/13/2018 9:58 PM EST
Here we go again, another English Period Piece. This one is about Queen Anne and it's thinly disguised as a cynical comedy of royal manners. In reality, it's a nasty, vicious, profane, royal story about two women and their devious plotting and scheming against each other, to become the favorite confidant to the Queen. Take confidant, to mean lover;... Read More

Westworld Season Two: The Door

(Maureen Buccellato) 12/13/2018 9:47 AM EST
HBO's Westworld premiered in 2016. Based on 1973's film by the same name, the series became very popular for the network, and with a star-filled cast, as well as a surprisingly timely plot, it's not hard to see why.In a time where we are constantly connected to the world around us and are given the instant gratification that the interne...

Mortal Engines

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 2:58 PM EST
Imagine what Earth would be like in a post-apocalyptic world. What if nuclear explosions hit multiple continents in a span of 60 minutes? What would be left? How would the world rebuild? What would that look like? Would it disintegrate into a dystopian society? Mortal Engines, the new film based on the Phillip Re... Read More

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 10:55 AM EST
This month the comic book world was dealt a heavy blow when we lost a legend, the "Godfather of Superheroes", Mr. Stan Lee. He created so many incredible characters that have endeared and changed over time. I can think of no more fitting tribute to his legacy than Marvel Studios' latest animated feature, Spider-Man: Into the S... Read More

The Equalizer 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/11/2018 10:30 AM EST
It is a well-known fact in Hollywood that Denzel Washington (Fences) never reprises a role or makes a sequel to any of his films so it was a big surprise when it was announced he would be returning as Robert McCall for the second installment of The Equalizer. The beloved, yet quirky, character from the 2014 movie was destined to be back as th... Read More
