(Jennifer Broderick) 4/3/2017 9:07 AM EDT Warner Bros. has been amazing moviegoers over the last few years with their movie content, storylines, and choice of cast. In the last year, they have also shown incredible foresight into bringing some of their prior blockbuster releases into the new digital technology. The Harry Potter franchise has enthralled kids and adults... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 3/28/2017 9:58 AM EDT For all the Harry Potter fans out there, J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. has rewarded us with a "prequel" to the beloved magical series (rumored to be the first of possibly five- yes, five!) that creates its own story without losing the Harry Potter vibe that is central to the stories. Magic,&nb... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 9:58 PM EDT J.K Rowling wrote seven books in the Harry Potter series but the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was so large and full of details that it was broken into two movies. I'm sure Warner Bros. also saw it as a chance to prolong the inevitable end of the series and an opportunity to make more money. In all... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 9:18 PM EDT It is hard to believe that it has been almost 20 years since the first book in the Harry Potter series was published and 16 years since the first film was released. Both the books and the movies garnered boundless success and have now spawned a second generation of fans. As newer technology advances the audience'... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 1:00 PM EDT When I heard about 20th Century Women, I was intrigued. People said it was funny and it got very strong reviews. It had a great cast, so I added it to my "must watch" list but took my time to see it. Now that it is coming to Blu-ray, it's time to revisit the film and write down my thoughts. Inter...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 11:40 AM EDT In 1958, illustrator Peyo (Pierre Culliford), brought The Smurfs comics to Belgium. It's popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually became an animated show on American Television. I can remember Saturday mornings in the 1980's in front of the television watching those little blue creature... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/21/2017 9:57 AM EDT I don't like video games. I never have. I don't get the appeal and I don't have the hand/eye coordination to be good at them. Therefore, the idea of a movie based on a video game is truly something I wouldn't be interested in seeing. However, for gamers everywhere, that same idea fills them with excitement and slight trepidation a... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/21/2017 9:07 AM EDT Ben Affleck can be hit or miss as an actor, director, and writer. Argo was masterfully shot and Gone Baby, Gone and The Town were beautifully written and all three engaged audiences and left us feeling emotionally spent. Even his acting talents don't go to waste in The Accountant, so it's only natural t... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/20/2017 5:00 PM EDT Fifteen years ago, a little singing competition show aired on television and captivated our hearts. Each year, we would watch intently as hopeful young adults put themselves and their vocal talents on display on a show called American Idol. Other shows soon followed. Some, such as The Voice, are still on the air and show... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 3/20/2017 12:14 PM EDT HBO was one of the forerunners in cable television to start their own programming. With shows like Game of Thrones, Westword, The Sopranos, VEEP, Silicon Valley, and True Blood, HBO has shown foresight into what captivates viewers and they have also shown that they are not afraid to spend money on their productions, which make the s...
