The Matrix

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/21/2018 8:24 AM EDT
"There's a glitch in The Matrix". Anyone who was over the age of ten in 1999 should know what that statement means. The film, directed by the Wachowski Brothers - now Sisters- changed the face of action movies forever in one two hour block of time. The highly stylized look of The Matrix has been talked about and studied ... Read More

Solo: A Star Wars Story

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/15/2018 5:10 PM EDT
The Star Wars Saga was meant to be a series of nine films chronicling the rebel alliance as they try to defeat the Empire. Since 1977, we have been watching as Luke, Leia and Han have been fighting evil and saving the day (or at least trying to). In 2016, we got even more than we expected when Rogue One: A Star Wars Story filled i... Read More

Measure of a Man

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/10/2018 11:12 PM EDT
We've all been there. The summer of our teenage years that has a profound impact on the rest of our lives. The time that we have that great epiphany that takes us one step closer to the adult we are destined to become. Occasionally a wise and learned adult helps us navigate this transition and generally, there is some challenge we... Read More

RBG

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/10/2018 10:54 PM EDT
RBG may sound like a company name or an abbreviation for a drug. However, it is, in fact, the initials for one of the most influential women in the United States. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsberg is pretty much a household name in this country who made a name for herself as a champion of gender equality issues. ... Read More

In 1902, the world was introduced to an adorable yet mischievous rabbit named Peter.

Deep Blue Sea 2

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/4/2018 10:27 PM EDT
In 1975 we became terrified of the water when Steven Spielberg's (E.T.: The Extraterrestrial) Jaws hit movie theaters. Let's face it… who can forget that huge mouth with all those teeth coming out of the water as the now iconic John Williams' score played in the background. Then in 1999 we were once again reminded why it wasn't s... Read More
