Game of Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/15/2016 8:43 AM EDT
Winter is coming" is the catch phrase of the highly popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Many people question if the $10 million dollars or more per episode HBO spent on Game of Thones Season 6 was worth the money. For ten episodes, that's more than $100 million dollars for the season. The money spent ... Read More

We all know the story of the little boy disabled boy who proves to everyone that just because he is disabled, he is not handicapped. Oh- wait. It was a fish- and the movie was called Finding Nemo (Disney Pixar Films). In the much anticipated and eagerly awaited sequel, Finding Dory brings to like the bonding of a diverse family an...

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens Blu-ray Review

Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector's Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/13/2016 6:21 PM EDT
Ever since the Star Wars: The Force Awakens film was announced, the anticipation was palpable. When the movie finally came out last December, the frenzy surrounding it was incredible and, even though some of the plot was recycled, it managed to deliver. Much to audiences' delight, it fed their sense of nostalgia and refueled their l... Read More

The Hunger Games Series

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/08/2016 2:00 PM EDT
The Suzanne Collins young adult book series The Hunger Games was enjoyed by teenagers and adults alike and became bestsellers. They spawned four blockbuster movies (the last book was broken into two films) and solidified Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: First Class) as an A list Hollywood actress. They brought to ... Read More

Bad Moms

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/31/2016 7:57 PM EDT
When Bridesmaids hit theaters in 2011 it created a whole new level of female comedies. It was racier and raunchier and had audiences laughing hysterically. It opened the door to more crass and vulgar movies starring female leads in order to give male actors a run for their money. This summer, Bad Moms riva... Read More

Mr. Church

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/25/2016 11:34 AM EDT
Anyone would be lucky to have a Mr. Church in their lives and for Susan McMartin (Mom) it was reality. Based on her true story, Mr. Church was the only father figure McMartin had ever known and became more than just an employee to her. To her, he was family. The movie that unfortunately didn't fair very well at the box office ... Read More

Independence Day: Resurgence

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/25/2016 10:26 AM EDT
In 1996, Independence Day became the biggest movie of the summer. An alien invasion meant certain annihilation for the entire world. Will Smith's (Ali) character was the cocky fighter pilot who saved us all and cemented his career as a bona fide movie star. Bill Pullman's (American Ultra) presidential speech wa... Read More

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

(Jennifer Broderick) 10/21/2016 2:44 PM EDT
My, how Zac Efron (High School Musical) has grown up! In the first installment of this franchise, Teddy, played by Zac Efron, was a fraternity boy out to get his "adult" neighbors, Mac (Seth Rogan; Superbad ) and Kelly (Rose Byrne; Damages). In this second installment, he goes back to the fraternity house, now a sorority... Read More

The Night Of

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/21/2016 11:56 AM EDT
I remember when we first got cable TV in my house and HBO was THE movie channel (yes I know, I'm dating myself). Then, HBO started creating original series and have been doing a great job of it for over 15 years (Game of Thrones, anyone?). Now, they are creating a block of what I would describe as mini-series - first with American Crime Story... Read More

Alice Through the Looking Glass

(Jennifer Broderick) 10/18/2016 12:17 PM EDT
There are just some movies that suck you into the fantasy world they create, and by that I mean, you become so immersed in the scenery, the language, the imagery, and the costumes, that after the movie is done, you look around and wonder why real life looks so plain. Alice Through the Looking Glass is such a movie. Following the origina... Read More
