(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/29/2018 9:01 AM EDT For the last ten years, Marvel Studios has been entertaining us with tales of superheroes and Gods. In the first half of 2018 alone we were treated to blockbusters The Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War and as we hit the halfway point of the year they are once again delighting us with their next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ant...

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/31/2018 9:36 AM EDT Survival...Perseverance…Strength. How much can we as human beings handle when pushed to our limits? How strong is our will to live?

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/10/2018 2:46 PM EDT HBO is known for quality television that engrosses audiences and keeps them coming back time and time again. The Sopranos, True Blood and Game of Thrones have all been award winners, just to name a few and the cable network has a strong history excellence in television. Occasionally they get a mildly entertaining series that has some ap... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/12/2018 8:57 AM EDT Millions of people everyday doing the same thing over and over again. They leave their nice little homes in the suburbs, get on a train into Manhattan, go to work in some high rise building all day, get back on the train, and head home back to the suburbs.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/21/2017 11:25 AM EDT Five years ago, the world was introduced to the Barden Bellas, a college acapella group who had the goal of regaining past glory and winning a national title.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/29/2017 10:27 AM EDT Let's face it… Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures hit gold back in 2010 when the first Despicable Me movie made its way into theaters.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/15/2017 1:20 PM EDT In a year in which female empowerment has already permeated major motion pictures, Sony offers up its latest entry with this summer's version of The Hangover entitled Rough Night.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/7/2017 4:52 PM EDT If you are anything like me, you loved 1999's The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser (School Ties; Gods and Monsters) and Rachel Weisz (The Bourne Legacy).
