(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/15/2019 2:26 PM EDT Do you believe in destiny or fate or love at first sight? Many romantics say they do but how many really feel that spark just from one glance? Are you more of a realistic, practical, scientific person who needs proof before you can accept things as fact? What if two people at opposite ends of the "love" spectrum meet?&nb... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/8/2019 2:30 PM EDT If you are a child of the '90s or are the parent of one then you are surely aware of what Pokemon are. These fictional creatures live in the Pokemon Universe (of course) and have human trainers who catch them and prepare them to battle each other for sport. Each one has unique powers that they can use when fighting. This concept ... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/7/2019 10:27 AM EDT Lego Toys- The building blocks of our childhood. Lego Toys - The nightmare of every barefoot parent as they wander around the house in the dark late at night.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/6/2019 12:04 AM EDT In 1992 United Nations forces were attacked in Somalia while trying to deliver food to the starving people.

By 1993 Mohamed Farrah Aidid had a great influence over a number of citizens and commanded an army of insurgents who went around ... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/2/2019 1:55 PM EDT In February 2001 Uglydoll made its way to toy store shelves and was awarded the specialty toy of the year. The concept began because of a long distance relationship between David Horvath and his future wife Sun-Min Kim. The brand became very popular and has now spawned not only an animated feature film but a television series as well. S... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/1/2019 5:14 PM EDT Google the definition of a long shot and this is what you will get - a venture or guess that has only the slightest chance of succeeding or being accurate. That idea can pertain to almost anything from a job prospect to asking someone out on a date to winning the lottery. In the case of the new movie from Lionsgate, Long Shot could incl... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EDT Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't. It's been eleven years and twenty-one movies in the making and now we get to watch as the Avengers battle Thanos for control of the galaxy. It's easy to say that Avengers: E... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 11:14 PM EDT Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain) is such a versatile actor that one could imagine her playing almost any type of role. She was Satine in Moulin Rouge! and English author Virginia Wolf in The Hours won an Oscar for her performance in the film. Therefore it's no surprise that she fully engrosses her self in her late...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/22/2019 8:15 PM EDT The year was 1979. The director was a mostly unknown individual named Ridley Scott (Blade Runner). The film, that changed the future look and ideas of what creatures should look and act like, was called Alien. The movie became a huge hit and made both Scott and the film's star, Sigourney Weaver (Avatar), household names. ... Read More |
