The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/1/2018 4:47 PM EDT
There are certain things that are synonymous with the Christmas holiday season…Carols, colorful lights, presents, and The Nutcracker. The ballet is famous the world over with some of the most recognizable music around. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, you are probably aware of Clara's story, the Nutcracker Soldier, the Mo...

In 1999, Warner Bros. released The Matrix, a hugely successful film that spawned a high grossing trilogy, earning over $3 billion. The films were all written and directed by The Wachowski Brothers and have become famous, among other things, for the choice between the red and the blue pill.

Sorry to Bother You

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 10:20 PM EDT
How many times have you just sat down to dinner after a long, hard day of work when suddenly the phone rings. While mildly annoying to have to get up and answer it, it becomes even more frustrating when you find yourself trapped at one end of the phone while a telemarketer at the other end tries to sell you something you don't want or need. A... Read More

Law Abiding Citizen

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 9:25 PM EDT
As Americans we expect our judicial system to protect us from the most hardened criminals. Those who violently break our laws should be locked behind bars to keep the innocent people of this country safe. At least that is what we hope would happen. Unfortunately, due to loopholes and prison overcrowding, this isn't always the case. ... Read More

Hunter Killer

(Alyn Darnay) 10/25/2018 10:29 PM EDT
I've been ‘jonesing' for a good Action/Adventure film for some time now. It's been quite a while since a really good one has graced the screen. I like getting involved in the film's action, quietly cheering on the hero, watching the complex story unfold, realizing the impossibility of overcoming the situation, and then seeing a slam-bam over ...

Bohemian Rhapsody

(Alyn Darnay) 10/25/2018 1:17 PM EDT
I never rate a movie by what I want it to be; I choose instead to look at it as a stand-alone piece of creative work and how it will impact an audience. With that in mind, if I were to use a one-word grading system to define the film "Bohemian Rhapsody" that word would be "Brilliant". The film is a joyous celebration of the 70's... Read More

Beautiful Boy

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/25/2018 9:37 AM EDT
According to one report, there are approximately 80,000 drug addiction related deaths each year in the United States alone and opioid addiction is reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. For so many treatment centers don't really seem to work in the long term so it is a triumph if someone can get clean and stay sober for a year. T... Read More

Johnny English Strikes Again

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/24/2018 11:28 AM EDT
Rowan Atkinson (Four Weddings and a Funeral) is known for his British, slapstick characters like Mr. Bean, and probably one of his most popular behind Bean is Johnny English. Johnny first graced the big screen in Johnny English back in 2003 and he returned again in 2011's Johnny English Reborn. Now, after a seven-year hiatus, he resurfa... Read More

Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series

(Maureen Buccellato) 10/24/2018 9:35 AM EDT
Jim Henson was a master of his craft. Not only did he give us The Muppets but he brought us the beloved series, Fraggle Rock as well. The show debuted in 1983 on HBO in the US (other stations internationally). The series became a hit with kids and continued for four seasons, with the last season airing until March of 1987. Now, those of us who grew... Read More
