(Judith Raymer) 11/21/2017 9:53 AM EDT Directed by Lee Unkrich (Finding Nemo; Monster's Inc.) and Adrian Molina (The Good Dinosaur; Ratatouille), Coco is the latest magic from Disney/Pixar to hit the screen. Coco doesn't just meet then exceed expectations. It excels in every aspect. The story of Coco began five years before it would grace the big screen. ... Read More |

Based on the popular comic book series, these superheroes form an alliance to battle evil forces. The Justice League first appeared in DC comics in March of 1... Read More |
() 11/15/2017 3:06 PM EDT Take a terrific script, a heart-wrenching story peppered with some humor, three Academy Award-nominated actors and mix them all together. What you get is the recipe for a great film about an uncomfortable subject matter told in a sensitive manner. Such is the tale of Director/writer Richard Linklater's (Before Sunset) new movie, Last Fla... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 11/02/2017 8:29 AM EDT Where to begin?!? Where to begin! I suppose with ALERT: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS! Now then… While a fan of Marvel, its Cinematic Universe, and Thor in all film appearances (& beyond, er, before…), the Thor films have not been among my favorites. That is until now. Directed by Taika Waititi (What We Do in the ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/01/2017 9:03 AM EDT Last year, Mila Kunis (That 70's Show), Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), and Kathryn Hahn (Transparent) made moms everywhere feel a little better about themselves and had us all laughing in the theater at Bad Moms. As Amy, Kiki and Carla respectively, they gave us moms permission to be less than perfect. Now that we are about to hit holiday... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/19/2017 11:44 AM EDT There are people who selflessly put their lives on the line for others all the time and our civil service workers can be counted among this group.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/05/2017 8:38 AM EDT Almost anyone who travels fears a plane crash at some point in their lives. But what happens when it is in a small plane in a remote area of the mountains with no flight plan submitted so no one knows you are missing? And what happens when the tail of the plane with the homing beacon landed on a different part of the mountain? And what ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/17/2017 9:43 AM EDT Have you ever had a sworn enemy that you suddenly discover you have to work with on a project? What if you had to risk your own life protecting that person? Would you do it? What would it take to motivate you to do it? Would you be able to do it without wanting to kill them yourself? What if it was for the greater good... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/11/2017 10:06 AM EDT I was going to make a joke about "two Avengers walk onto an Indian reservation" but Wind River is no laughing matter. Based on a true story, it is a hard look at life on a reservation and the forgotten Native Americans who live there. A true crime drama, there is more going on than meets the eye, offering up all ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/10/2017 12:36 PM EDT If you never saw 2014's The Nut Job, you missed out on some really cute, furry animals scrounging for a few nuts. Well, there is more to the story than that but that gives you a basic overview.Three years later, the cuteness is back in The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature. Surly (Will Arnett; Arrested Development) and t... Read More |
