Cell

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/27/2016 11:06 AM EST
As a commentary on today's world where most of us are in a zombie like state staring at our electronic devices instead of interacting with those around us, Cell is a meaningful look at what we as a society have become. As a movie based on a Stephen King Novel of the same name, it is a horrible mess that makes little sense. It's taken ab... Read More

You know rap music has finally hit mainstream when it gets its own prime time soap opera. Empire premiered on FOX in 2015 and immediately became a success garnering Golden Globe and Emmy Nominations.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/23/2016 1:53 PM EST
It's hard to believe it's been twenty-five years since Beauty and the Beast came to theaters. With its romantic story and beautiful music, it is what we think of as "Classic Disney" and even these many years later, it still holds up.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/20/2016 9:34 AM EST
The Civil War was a time of turmoil and strife in this country, especially for the southern states.

Adding to that, rich slave owners were becoming exempt f... Read More
