() 6/6/2017 10:14 AM EDT Arnold Schwarzenegger got his start in films as an action star. Movies like The Terminator, Predator, and Total Recall showed off his muscles and his ability to brandish a weapon but certainly didn't stretch his acting ability. After a stint as the Governor of California, he is once again back in films and takin... Read More |
 
(Jennifer Broderick) 6/6/2017 8:47 AM EDT Disney has a habit of re-releasing classic movies from videotape to DVD to Blu-ray as they find a way to re-digitalize and/or improve the colors and animation. Bambi's Anniversary Edition is the latest in a long line of classic movies chosen by Disney to be added to its Signature Collection. It's great to see these older films back in... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 6/5/2017 4:42 PM EDT If you enjoy Dan Brown's books, Tom Hanks in his movies, or any intrigue and conspiracy theories about the Church, Vatican, and the Pope, then HBO's The Young Pope is the show to watch. This new show doesn't have the action scenes that Games of Thrones has or the suspense factor of Westworld, but it has a young pope w... Read More |
 
(Jennifer Broderick) 6/5/2017 2:22 PM EDT On the heels of a prior blockbuster movie from 2013, Lionsgate releases Ex Machina (2015), taking us into the world of A.I. like we have never seen or even imagined before.

(Jennifer Broderick) 6/5/2017 9:00 AM EDT Lionsgate is "the girl on fire" to use a quote from one of their most successful franchises (The Hunger Games).

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/2/2017 3:12 PM EDT Judge Dredd made his debut in British comic books as early as the late 1970's as a law enforcement officer in Mega City One, a dystopian society set sometime in the future. His authority includes arresting, convicting, sentencing and, if necessary, executing criminals in an effort to keep the peace. Then in 1995 Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) broug... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/30/2017 1:31 PM EDT In 1960, Anthony Perkins introduced the world to Norman Bates, a serial killer wielding a knife. It became a classic in the world of horror films and set a standard of what scares us. Over Sixty years later, his son, Oz Perkins, made his writing and directorial debut with The Blackcoat's Daughter, a psychological thriller that pays a little bit of ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/30/2017 11:06 AM EDT The last day of school is a happy occasion for every student and teacher but especially gratifying for high school seniors finishing their formal education for good (unless of course, they plan to go to college). At Roosevelt High School, that means tons of senior pranks and teacher frustration. This year it also means teacher reviews and terminati... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/30/2017 9:34 AM EDT Seventeen years ago, Hugh Jackman (The Prestige) commanded the screen as the brooding, mutant Wolverine in the movie X-Men.
