Cars 3

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/6/2017 11:46 AM EDT
Let's all admit it. By the time a franchise is into its third sequel, the audience starts wondering if it's really worth spending the time and money going to see movie number three. It's a good thing that the writers and directors of Cars 3 are a step (or two) above other franchises because Cars 3 is going so fast, n... Read More

The Glass Castle

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/6/2017 10:46 AM EDT
So many times in Hollywood films the alcoholism of one of the characters becomes the main focus of the film.

While The Glass Castle addresses the ... Read More

Annabelle: Creation

(Nathan M Rose) 10/26/2017 9:14 AM EDT
A common phobia seems to be the fear of dolls, particularly old, porcelain dolls. When you have that fear and couple it with the doll actually being possessed, it's the stuff nightmares are made of. Creepy looking faces that talk would probably make anyone run away screaming but Annabelle definitely evokes that reaction.In the latest... Read More

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/23/2017 5:08 PM EDT
Over the years there have been numerous films that include the sport of boxing as a backdrop and even a few that include wrestling but until 2011's Warrior there has never been a movie that showcases the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting. Just like Rocky or Million Dollar Baby, the action itself isn't th... Read More

Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Collection

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/20/2017 4:01 PM EDT
Alfred Hitchcock is arguably one of the best directors of all time. Known as the "Master of Suspense" he helped to innovate psychological thriller films and influence many of the directors working today. His "personal view" approach to camera work has been copied countless times over as it seems to create a more inti... Read More

Miracle on 34th Street

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/17/2017 2:35 PM EDT
There is a reason they say the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year and everyone sings songs about it. It's a time when people tend to be more generous and forgiving and a spirit of peace and goodwill abounds. That is until you walk into your local mall or superstore. The Holidays have become so commercialized that it ... Read More
