Ronin

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/28/2017 5:08 PM EST
A Ronin is described as a wandering samurai in feudal Japan who had no lord or master. They frequently became mercenaries who killed others for money or who did jobs for hire that other people wouldn't consider attempting.

There are always "nanny horror stories" in the news. Babysitters who abuse their charges, steal things, etc. and in 1992 movies took it to another level with the story of a nanny our for revenge in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle starring Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business).

Geoffrey Chaucer is attributed with coining the phrase "All good things must come to an end" and with Black Sails, that is sadly true. Starz aired its fourth and final season- of this epic story this past season and The Complete Fourth Season is available on Blu-ray for purchase.Much aligned with Starz' penchant for airing wonderfully enj...

The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season

(Leonard Buccellato) 8/28/2017 10:08 AM EST
George A. Romero was not only the creator of the Zombie Horror genre, he was the inspiration for Kirkman's The Walking Dead series. To ignore George's impact on the horror genre at large, as well as the Zombie sub-genre, is doing him a great disservice. He may not have been a fan of this series and he even said The Walking Dead was "a soap ope... Read More

Ridley Scott (Gladiator) and 20th Century Fox try to answer these questions with the start of a new prequel series for the Alien saga and its first film, Prometheus.Twenty-nine years before the ill fated day that the Nostromo set foot on LV-426 is the setting for the...

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/24/2017 7:53 AM EST
DC has had a very big year with girl power and has proven that it knows what the audiences want to see from its women Superheros and as I repeatedly mention in my reviews, Warner Bros. really knows how to take a story and hit it right out of the park. Filling in a much-needed niche of female lead characters, Supergirl provides a rich superher... Read More

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/22/2017 4:11 PM EST
Marvel has created a stupendous franchise that is loved by all. Once again they have taken comic book characters that were little known by the children today but loved by their parents and grandparents and brought those characters to life in a most colorful and impressive way. Keeping it light with family friendly humor has become the basis of thei... Read More

Lucifer: The Complete Second Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/22/2017 9:01 AM EST
The fallen angel who oversees hell is depicted in many forms and with many different names. There is Satan, Beelzebub, the Devil and Lucifer to name a few. The latter has become synonymous with an American police procedural television show starring Tom Ellis (Buffalo Soldiers) and Lauren German (A Walk to Remember). As the cast and crew gear up for...
