LBJ

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/6/2018 8:10 AM EDT
Everyone knows the events of that fateful day in November 1963. As President Kennedy's motorcade made its way down the street in Texas, shots rang out and numerous lives were changed forever. Closely behind the President's car was Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President of the United States. Within hours, he would take the oath ... Read More

Gothic

(Leonard Buccellato) 1/30/2018 11:20 AM EDT
Ken Russell (Altered States, The Devils) is possibly the most difficult Director to digest. He is, at once, profound and profane, simple and complex, acrimonious and pleasant. Ken Russell was many things, but boring was not one of them. Gothic, starring Gabriel Byrne, Julian Sands, Natasha Richardson - in her first movie role, as well as Myri... Read More

Class of 1999

(Leonard Buccellato) 1/30/2018 11:01 AM EDT
Class of 1999, from Mark L. Lester, the writer/director that brought us, Class of 1984, returns with the next installment of kids gone wild and this time the teachers are getting in on the action. 1999 is a heady mixture of Mad Max meets Terminator, meets A Clockwork Orange. This is the quintessential Dri... Read More

Goodbye Christopher Robin

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/26/2018 3:06 PM EDT
He was just a little boy and his bear living in the countryside of England. Who knew the stories of his moments at play would eventually become the most beloved book of all time. Not only did they bring a country, and the world, back from the depressing post wartime but also they have endured for almost 100 years. Unfortunately, for the real Christ... Read More

Geostorm

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/23/2018 10:07 AM EDT
For the last 30 years, Global Warming and climate change have been discussed and debated. Nowadays, they are at the forefront of almost any political conversation. But what if we could resolve all of that? What if we could launch satellites into the atmosphere that could control and alter weather patterns making our current climat... Read More

Jigsaw

(Nathan M Rose) 1/23/2018 9:22 AM EDT
In October of 2004, a little unknown film entitled Saw, by then unknown writer/director James Wan (Furious 7) and writer Leigh Whannell, rewrote the modern slasher horror film and created a new modern horror killer, Jigsaw (Tobin Bell; The Flash). It went on to spawn many sequels before it's "finale" in 2010... Read More

November Criminals

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/18/2018 11:07 PM EDT
Take a coming of age/teenage angst movie, add a murder mystery, stir vigorously, throw it against the wall and see what sticks. Throw in some the best, young talent Hollywood has to offer right now. Finally, give it some obscure name and you have the formula for November Criminals. Starring Ansel Elgort (The Fault In Our Stars) and Chlo... Read More

Den of Thieves

(Judith Raymer) 1/18/2018 9:11 AM EDT
Spoilers, spoilers...at this time, I do not believe that I can adequately… justly...discuss this film without blowing major plot points, and spoiling swaths of emotional highs and lows. But, before throwing any of those in your unexpecting face...Ever since the first trailer for Den of Thieves was released back in October 201... Read More

12 Strong

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/18/2018 8:47 AM EDT
For those who were not alive when Pearl Harbor was attacked, the biggest terrorist attack ever on United States soil happened on September 11, 2001. The Taliban targeted major buildings in the Northeast setting off a wave of panic and patriotism across this country. Of course, this also set our military into action and, unbeknownst to m...

The Lego Ninjago Movie

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/16/2018 4:40 PM EDT
With the success of 2014's The Lego Movie and 2017's The Lego Batman Movie, Warner Bros. decided to continue the franchise and created a film based on the popular Lego Ninjago toy line called, appropriately, The Lego Ninjago Movie. I must admit that after having enjoyed the first two films very much and finding them surprisingly funny and delightfu... Read More
