Alien: Covenant

(Nathan M Rose) 8/21/2017 3:56 PM EST
"In Space, no one can hear you scream". That tagline became famous in 1979 when the film Alien ushered in a new genre of "space horror" that is still alive today. Its father, Ridley Scott, is back again to where he started it all with Alien: Covenant. Alien: Covenant takes place about ten years aft... Read More

DC's Legends of Tomorrow: The Complete Second Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/15/2017 3:25 PM EST
When I was little, Warner Bros. to me was Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and the Road Runner. Saturday morning cartoons were funny, comical, and maybe even a bit serious. I can still remember the cartoons ending with Bugs bursting out saying, "That's all folks" while the caption underneath read "Warner Bros. Cartoon". When Season One o... Read More

The Lincoln Lawyer

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/15/2017 10:08 AM EST
Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) has a certain charming quality about him. Whether he is playing a drug dealer in the 1970's or he is romancing a beautiful woman and melting women's' hearts everywhere, he always seems to come across a little bit like a used car salesman to me – but not in a bad way. He is smooth and likable and has a ... Read More

Riverdale: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/14/2017 10:11 AM EST
In today's world of entertainment full of superheroes, someone decided it was a good idea to base a television show on the Archie Comic book series. Since 1941 the characters have become familiar to generations of comic lovers worldwide and now they appear on television though not in the same vein as the comics. All the regulars are... Read More

Going in Style

(Paul Kates) 8/8/2017 2:45 PM EST
There won't be many movies this year that will boast a better lineup than Alan Arkin (Grosse Pointe Blank), Michael Caine (Inception), and Morgan Freeman (Wanted), but Going in Style sure does that.Based on the 1979 Martin Brest movie of the same name, Zach Braff's comical remake sees the three lifelong buddies, Willie (Freeman), ...

Blindspot: The Complete Second Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/8/2017 8:38 AM EST
Suspenseful dramas that captivate the audience week upon week and keep them engaged are a rare find, and if you watch Warner Bros.
