(Jennifer Broderick) 2/8/2017 9:35 AM EDT With a hit song, "Everything is Awesome" and an amazing first movie, The Lego Batman Movie is an easy ride into building a franchise.

(Jennifer Broderick) 2/6/2017 8:40 AM EDT The 1960s were a decade filled with turmoil, protests, war and the end of an era of the working husband, stay at home mom, and the Leave it To Beaver mentality. Lionsgate brings American novelist Philip Roth's, American Pastoral, to the big screen and with it, brings to light the turmoil that visited many families when try... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 1/30/2017 1:40 PM EDT Ballers is an HBO series that first aired in 2015. It's a show that looks at NFL agents and athlete and the problems that they go up against dealing with the sports agencies, greedy owners, and the increasingly money-driven NFL itself. Season One was a solid show and kept enough interest for HBO t... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 1/25/2017 11:15 AM EDT Retelling a story from a unique perspective, and opening the audience's eyes to human nature through the voice of man's best friend, brought A Dog's Purpose to life - captivating the audience through laughter, love, and tears.

(Jennifer Broderick) 1/16/2017 9:30 PM EDT Sherlock is an U.K. production starting Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit) as Sherlock Holmes and his companion, Dr. John H. Watson. Quite possibility being the last series (we hope not) in this show, due to the actors very busy outside schedule, Series 4 brings more emotion, more mystery closer to home than ev...

(Jennifer Broderick) 1/16/2017 3:02 PM EDT When Universal Studios wants to pick a book to develop into one of the best thriller-mystery movies of the year, they go to Paula Hawkins and create a screenplay and movie of the same name as the book and present it to the audience with twists and turns at every moment of the film. The Girl On The Train is an unpredictable story that will keep... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 1/11/2017 10:25 AM EDT Step back into time to a prolific era when men returned from The Great War and lost themselves, where life was easy, alcohol was for the back rooms, speakeasies were the thing to do, and the Irish and Italian Mobs ran the country. Live By Night transports you back into a time that has gone by the wayside- a glorious, relaxing time full of... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 1/5/2017 5:06 PM EDT The purpose of a movie is to tell a story and to entertain the audience. A Monster Calls is the epitome of a story with a deep meaning, one with a lesson, or two, and one with such emotion that there isn't a dry eye left in the theater or a sound emitting from the audience by the time the credits roll.Conor McGuire (Lewis MacDou...
