The Kid Who Would Be King

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/18/2019 11:55 AM EDT
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. There are books written, movies made and television shows that tell the tale of the boy that freed the sword, became king and along with his most trusted a... Read More

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

(Nathan M Rose) 4/13/2019 11:59 PM EDT
Cloning is a hot button topic in today's world. We have the ability to do so but, the question is, should we? Those who have lost a beloved family member/friend or pet knows the feeling of wanting them back. 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

Missing Link

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/11/2019 10:15 AM EDT
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

Vice

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/9/2019 5:02 PM EDT
Dick Cheney (Christian Bale; The Dark Knight) spent much of his political career flying under the radar despite the fact that he held some of the highest political offices there are in Washington, D.C. Perhaps that is due to the fact that the man himself was very secretive - a trait that would serve him well in his later years. After le... Read More

Project Blue Book Season 1

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/9/2019 10:03 AM EDT
Josef Allen Hynek was born in 1931 in Chicago and earned his PhD. from Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin. He became a professor at Ohio State University and taught astronomy until one day in 1948 when the United States Air Force enlisted his help to bring credibility to some otherwise unexplainable, unusual events. He spent year debunking... Read More

The Public

(Judith Raymer) 4/5/2019 4:28 PM EDT
In spite of a prolific career making films, many of us will forever behold Emilio Estevez (The Way; Bobby; The Breakfast Club; The Mighty Ducks) holed up in a library as part of a motley crew of (seemingly) mismatched misfits. Now, some thirty-odd years later, we get to return to the library in a somewhat grown-up version of The Breakfast Clu... Read More

Hellboy: Sword of Storms 4K Ultra HD Review

Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms and Blood & Iron Double Feature

(Leonard Buccellato) 4/2/2019 1:40 AM EDT
Face it… Fan-girls and boys, love Hellboy. And really, what's not to love? A red-skinned, snarky, Nazi-hating demon, which fights for and with, the good guys. Not to mention, a quasi, semi-secretive government agency that directs his actions to destroy paranormal and Lovecraftian threats to planet earth?! Think about it. IT has al... Read More
