(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/20/2017 8:41 AM EDT A conscientious objector is defined as someone who, for reasons of conscience, objects to serving in the armed forces. Back in the 1940's, Desmond Doss was labelled as such even though he actually enlisted in the military. His refusal to even hold a gun, let alone shoot one, earned him the designation and a court martial hearing.&nb... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 2/9/2017 2:06 PM EDT Dreamworks Animation has given us many of our favorite animated movies.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/6/2017 8:12 AM EDT HBO is known for its award-winning television series and movies, so when one receives a Blu-ray from them, you can usually expect great things. Gripping stories, excellent production values, terrific cast and something that you would want to watch over and over again. Sadly, Vice Principals is probably one of the lower points ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/4/2017 8:17 AM EDT "John Wick is the guy you send to kill the boogeyman". Make no mistake about it, John Wick (Keanu Reeves; The Matrix) is a badass. He is not the guy you want to make angry, nor do you want to double cross him. He has skills in hand to hand combat and is an expert marksman. He will find you and make you pay before you kno...
