Kin

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/30/2018 10:19 AM EDT
What do you get when you cross a heartfelt family drama with some sci-fi, other dimensional action? Well if you are first-time full-length feature Directors/writers Jonathan and John Baker (Bag Man) you end up with Lionsgate's latest theatrical release, Kin. Reading the synopsis - Chased by a vengeful criminal, the feds and a gang o... Read More

The Walking Dead: The Complete Eigth Season

(Leonard Buccellato) 8/29/2018 10:37 AM EDT
It's difficult to believe that eight seasons of this show have passed, and in fact, in just a few short weeks, season 9 will begin. When it was first announced that TWD was being picked up by AMC, I was beyond excited. Being a fan of the comic books, as well as Zombie movies/books, in general, I couldn't wait. Like many fans I have spoken... Read More

Jack Ryan 5-Film Collection UHD 4K

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/28/2018 9:42 AM EDT
Tom Clancy's first novel, The Hunt For Red October, was sold to Naval Institute Press for $5000 in 1984. The book, which Clancy had hoped would sell 5,000 copies ended up selling almost 10 times as much and was complemented by President Reagan causing it to become a national bestseller. A few years later the second Jack Ryan book – Patriot Ga... Read More

Supernatural: The Complete Thirteenth Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/27/2018 5:15 PM EDT
Can you imagine a world without the Winchester Brothers- or their car? Supernatural Season Thirteen, like any suspicion of the same number, centers on what the world would have been like if the Winchester brothers had not been born. Season Thirteen introduces us to a world without the Winchester Brothers- Sam (Jared Padalecki; Gilmore Girls a... Read More

Bang The Drum Slowly

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/26/2018 7:26 PM EDT
Robert DeNiro has had an illustrious career spanning over fifty years in which he has portrayed numerous memorable characters. He has been nominated for an Academy Award seven times, winning twice. He is a living legend and is always worth watching whether he is playing a retired father dealing with his son's mental illness, a retir... Read More

Deadpool 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/21/2018 9:54 AM EDT
Whether you love him or you hate him…he doesn't really care. He's the Merc with a mouth, the Frozen to your Yentl, the X - Force to your X-Men, the.. well you get the picture. Or do you need me to draw you one? After the incredible worldwide success of Deadpool in 2016, you knew it was inevitable that there would be... Read More

Alpha

(Nathan M Rose) 8/16/2018 10:59 PM EDT
Every once in a while there comes a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and energizes your soul. Alpha is such a movie. Directed by Albert Hughes (From Hell, Menace II Society) it tells a stunning tale of loss, friendship, and courage after a young boy Kodi Smit-McPhee (X-Men: Apocalypse) is left for dead by his tribe and has to find his way...

Mile 22

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/16/2018 12:00 PM EDT
It's a simple matter of "by the books" numbers. Option one…diplomacy. Option two…military. Option three…Overwatch. What, do you ask, is Overwatch? They are the non-government sanctioned tactical team sent in to do the dirty work when all else fails. They are the ones who use any... Read More

Crazy Rich Asians

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/14/2018 8:37 PM EDT
It has been 25 years since there has been a major feature film starring an all-Asian cast and I'm sure there is some social commentary dialogue for the large gap in time between the two films. 1993's The Joy Luck Club is a dreary, serious drama about Asian culture, class discrepancies and honor while this year's Crazy Rich Asians ...

It's been a little over 30 years since we first watched Alan "Dutch" Schaefer (Arnold Scharwzenegger; Terminator) battle an alien "big game" hunter in the Film Predator. In 1987 The film opened to mixed reviews but has since become a "new classic" and shows up on endless "top 100" lists. Three years... Read More
