Looking for a film to feed your musical sensibilities and soul that will also keep the younger "Mouseketeers" at your side engaged and entertained? Look no further than the circus!

When one thinks of compelling television, one undoubtedly thinks of FX's The Americans.

Father Figures

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/3/2018 9:20 AM EDT
The 1970's were a wild time. Drugs, partying, and wild sex… it was rampant and everywhere. And Helen (Glenn Close; Damages) was a part of it all. She had multiple partners and wasn't quite sure which one of them could have fathered her twin boys, Kyle (Owen Wilson; Wedding Crashers) and Peter (Ed Helms;&nb... Read More

The Sandlot: 25th Anniversary Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/30/2018 11:53 AM EDT
There have been some great movies released in the last 25 years and several of them include a baseball theme. As "America's pastime" it is the quintessential vehicle with which to tell any number of stories including a coming of age tale set during the 1960's. On the surface, The Sandlot seems to be merely about some p... Read More

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

(Maureen Buccellato) 3/23/2018 2:52 PM EDT
In 1995, Robin Williams starred in Jumanji, bringing us a funny, yet touching, film about a boy who gets trapped inside an old board game. Fast forward 22 years to 2017 and Jumanji was brought back to life, this time as an antiquated video game in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. A group of four high schoolers, Spencer... Read More

Ferdinand

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/20/2018 10:02 AM EDT
Stereotypically bulls are seen as strong creatures that are angry and aggressive. In Hispanic cultures, they are used for sport and bullfighting and, as the bull, being chosen to "fight" the Matador is considered an honor. From the time they are born these bulls are groomed to be fighters in the ring. But what if they ar... Read More

In this film, the Bella's are now out of college and each handling it in different ways, but they don't like their new status to say the least. When the opportunity comes to get back together again on a USO tour, they can't help but resist. Yet this isn't just your typi... Read More
