The year was 1973. Equal Rights and Feminism were at the forefront of American People's minds.

With the success of Christopher Nolan's (Dunkirk) reimagined version of Batman in 2005's Batman Begins Warner Bros. decided to green light his second installment, The Dark Knight, which was released 3 years later.

Batman Begins

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/3/2018 11:44 AM EDT
Since the Late 1980s Batman has gone through a number of iterations and in 2005 Director Christopher Nolan (Inception) got a crack at telling the story. His version, Batman Begins, was different from past attempts and was so well received that he was given the opportunity to continue his tale two more times, once in 2008 and again in 2012.&nb...

Killing Gunther. Is it an action film, is it a comedy, is it the latest film to showcase the amazing talent of Arnold Schwarzenegger?

American Made is based on the true story of Barry Seal (Tom Cruise; Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation).

Inception

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/2/2018 8:57 AM EDT
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 EDT
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 EDT
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
