American Made

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 10:04 AM EST
American Made is based on the true story of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise; Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation). It's a fascinating tale of drugs, greed, guns and wealth that involves the governments of a number of countries including the United States. It chronicles Barry's life as he "worked the system" while getting involved ... Read More

Inception

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 8:57 AM EST
If you look up the word inception in the dictionary, you will find this meaning - an act, process, or instance of beginning: commencement. However, for director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Night) it means something slightly different. In 2010, he took that concept and applied it to one's subconscious mind and people's drea... Read More

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/28/2017 4:33 PM EST
It was a sequel seven years in the making and at the time it had been the most expensive film made to date. The visual effects surpassed everyone's expectations and when it was released on July 3, 1991, it became an instant commercial and critical success. It utilized the latest CGI technology offering audiences something they had rarel... Read More

The Greatest Showman

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/20/2017 2:10 PM EST
Some would say Phineas T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman; Logan) was a dreamer. Others would say he was a businessman. Yet, some would argue he was both and some would say he scammed people. The truth is probably a little of each but there is no denying he was one of the greatest showmen on Earth. He gained wealth entertaining people but not... Read More

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/20/2017 8:55 AM EST
It has been twenty-two years since the original Jumanji film starring Robin Williams graced the silver screen. A lot has changed in that time - grunge music is out, pop music is in, mobile phones are no longer a luxury, but a necessity and board games are no longer the preferred form of entertainment. Video games have taken over and to that end, Co... Read More

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/19/2017 11:32 AM EST
Back in 2015, director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men: First Class) and famed comic book writer Mark Millar unloaded a new kind of comic book film unto the world entitled Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kingman was a slick, glossy film that wore it's R rated badge proudly. It was filled with tongue in cheek jokes, a "bondesque... Read More

Boston

"Boston Strong" - the phrase has come to symbolize a feeling of hope and community surrounding a horrible tragedy and a horrific act of terrorism on American soil. The 2013 event shone a spotlight on the City of Boston and the Boston Athletic Association and has sparked two major motion pictures. It also prompted director Jon Dunham (Spir... Read More

Stronger

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/19/2017 10:03 AM EST
In April of 2013, the landscape of Boston and the marathon were changed forever. A simple act of terrorism rocked the city and the Boston Athletic Association to its very core and kept the world waiting with bated breath as the drama unfolded. On that day at 2:49 pm, two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the race killing three people,... Read More

Dunkirk

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/18/2017 5:01 PM EST
There is a plethora of movies about World War II, Wonder Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Pearl Harbor- just to name a few. We are obsessed with the superheroes, the love story, the underdog, and the victims of that time period. We immerse ourselves in the romanticization of the drama and stories that are derived fro...
