Ahhhh... the sights, the sounds, and the smells of the Holiday Season. They bring back fond memories and induce excitement for the gift giving and receiving to come. Multicolored blinking lights and Holiday songs blaring throughout every public place you go. Guys dressed up like Santa Clause taking pictures with kids of all ages g... Read More

Hacksaw Ridge

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/20/2017 8:41 AM EDT
A conscientious objector is defined as someone who, for reasons of conscience, objects to serving in the armed forces. Back in the 1940's, Desmond Doss was labelled as such even though he actually enlisted in the military. His refusal to even hold a gun, let alone shoot one, earned him the designation and a court martial hearing.&nb... Read More

Trolls

Dreamworks Animation has given us many of our favorite animated movies. The Shrek franchise, Kung Fu Panda franchise, and How to Train Your Dragon franchise are just a few of the great works coming out of this studio. In fact, there aren't many productions that Dreamworks has had th... Read More

The Passion of the Christ

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/07/2017 3:43 PM EDT
Generally, movies with a religious undertone tend to be controversial and when Jesus is the main character, that controversy tends to be doubled. Such is the case with Mel Gibson's (Braveheart) 2004 film The Passion of The Christ. While it opened to modest acclaim and solid box office numbers, it definitely had its detractors. ... Read More

Almost Christmas

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/07/2017 8:51 AM EDT
We can't choose our family and many times we don't get along with them. We try to avoid getting together whenever possible but during the holidays, we often head home for a few days and suffer through the family drama. Of course, Hollywood likes to play on that drama and there is always a movie coming out dealing with ... Read More

American Pastoral

(Jennifer Broderick) 02/06/2017 8:40 AM EDT
The 1960s were a decade filled with turmoil, protests, war and the end of an era of the working husband, stay at home mom, and the Leave it To Beaver mentality. Lionsgate brings American novelist Philip Roth's, American Pastoral, to the big screen and with it, brings to light the turmoil that visited many families when try... Read More

The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/06/2017 8:12 AM EDT
HBO is known for its award-winning television series and movies, so when one receives a Blu-ray from them, you can usually expect great things. Gripping stories, excellent production values, terrific cast and something that you would want to watch over and over again. Sadly, Vice Principals is probably one of the lower points ... Read More

John Wick

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 02/04/2017 8:17 AM EDT
"John Wick is the guy you send to kill the boogeyman". Make no mistake about it, John Wick (Keanu Reeves; The Matrix) is a badass. He is not the guy you want to make angry, nor do you want to double cross him. He has skills in hand to hand combat and is an expert marksman. He will find you and make you pay before you kno...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 01/31/2017 10:32 AM EDT
They say truth is stranger than fiction. And sometimes it can even be entertaining. Such is the case with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's movie, Masterminds. Based on a true story, the film gives a slightly humorous slant to one of the biggest bank heists in American history. Available now on Blu-ray an... Read More
