Everything, Everything

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/15/2017 9:27 AM EDT
As a parent, what would you do to keep your child safe? Would you lock them in a tower like Rapunzel? For Pauline (Anika Noni Rose; Dreamgirls), it seems that is the only solution but was her decision the right one? For many years, it seemed so until one day everything changed.Maddy (Amandla Stenberg; The Hunger Games) isn't your normal eighteen-ye... Read More

Riverdale: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/14/2017 10:11 AM EDT
In today's world of entertainment full of superheroes, someone decided it was a good idea to base a television show on the Archie Comic book series. Since 1941 the characters have become familiar to generations of comic lovers worldwide and now they appear on television though not in the same vein as the comics. All the regulars are... Read More

Going in Style

(Paul Kates) 8/8/2017 2:45 PM EDT
There won't be many movies this year that will boast a better lineup than Alan Arkin (Grosse Pointe Blank), Michael Caine (Inception), and Morgan Freeman (Wanted), but Going in Style sure does that.Based on the 1979 Martin Brest movie of the same name, Zach Braff's comical remake sees the three lifelong buddies, Willie (Freeman), ...

Blindspot: The Complete Second Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/8/2017 8:38 AM EDT
Suspenseful dramas that captivate the audience week upon week and keep them engaged are a rare find, and if you watch Warner Bros. Blindspot you will know that there are not many shows made like this one. Created by Martin Gero and produced by Greg Berlanti, who has worked on Everwood as well as the DC's Arrowverse, no won...

The Dinner

(Andres Andy Rozo, Jr) 8/7/2017 4:39 PM EDT
You're invited to see "The Dinner" for a not so fun and yet thought provoking two hours. At first, you'll be confused, at least, I was, by the narration and exactly what is going on in this third incarnation (Dutch and Italian were first & second) of Herman Koch's 2009 book about two estranged brothers and their families.Stan Lohman (...

Crashing: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/7/2017 9:46 AM EDT
Look up the definition of the word crashing online and you come up with several options... Merriam-Webster defines it as utter, absolute while The Urban dictionary describes it as either coming down from a drug high or attending an event that is not publicized or that one has not invited to. It can also mean staying with friends unexpectedly ... Read More

Big Little Lies

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/1/2017 3:27 PM EDT
HBO is on a roll. Most of their shows and documentaries are excellent productions that win awards and critical praise. Of course, I'm sure it's easier to create top quality work when only 7-13 episodes are being produced but the production quality is top rate nonetheless. One of their latest endeavors is a seven part miniseries ca... Read More

Going in Style

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/1/2017 9:13 AM EDT
In 1979 George Burns (Oh, God!), Art Carney (Last Action Hero) and Lee Strasberg (...and justice for all) starred in director Martin Brest's (Scent of a Woman) comedy Going in Style. In 2017 Zach Braff (Scrubs) directed and produced a remake of the film starring Michael Caine (The Dark Knight), Morgan Freeman (The Shaw... Read More
