(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/4/2019 8:58 AM EDT Ninety years ago, as a female in this country, I would not have been able to write this review and have it published. Those doors would have been closed to me. Even sixty years ago some of those doors still were not open to women as we were expected to stay at home and take care of our husband and children. When Ruth Bader Ginsbur... Read More |
(Alyn Darnay) 12/19/2018 9:19 PM EDT By any definition, "Aquaman" is a certified Blockbuster, a mega-action superhero flick filled with spectacle, cool visuals, decadent insanity, and frenetic fun. It's quite probably the best film of the ‘comic book' Superhero genre brought to the screen so far.The scope of the eye candy here is breathtaking; from the clever underwate... Read More |
 
(Alyn Darnay) 12/13/2018 9:58 PM EDT Here we go again, another English Period Piece. This one is about Queen Anne and it's thinly disguised as a cynical comedy of royal manners. In reality, it's a nasty, vicious, profane, royal story about two women and their devious plotting and scheming against each other, to become the favorite confidant to the Queen. Take confidant, to mean lover;... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 2:58 PM EDT Imagine what Earth would be like in a post-apocalyptic world. What if nuclear explosions hit multiple continents in a span of 60 minutes? What would be left? How would the world rebuild? What would that look like? Would it disintegrate into a dystopian society? Mortal Engines, the new film based on the Phillip Re... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 10:55 AM EDT This month the comic book world was dealt a heavy blow when we lost a legend, the "Godfather of Superheroes", Mr. Stan Lee. He created so many incredible characters that have endeared and changed over time. I can think of no more fitting tribute to his legacy than Marvel Studios' latest animated feature, Spider-Man: Into the S... Read More |
(Alyn Darnay) 12/6/2018 4:13 PM EDT There's any number of good reasons why we go to movies. Why we plunk down our hard earned money, sit in a dark theater away from the world, and watch something unveil itself on the big screen in front of us. One thing I know for sure, I think I know for sure, is that we don't go to movies to be made further depressed than the world we live in is al... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2018 9:57 AM EDT Being royalty is never an easy lot in life but more so when you are a queen in the sixteenth century. It's even more difficult when everyone is out to steal your throne, including a neighboring queen during an incredibly tumultuous time in your own country. Mary, Queen of Scots, is that noblewoman. Having become queen at a mer... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/19/2018 11:37 PM EDT Six years ago we fell in love with video game characters Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly; Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) and Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman; A Million Ways to Die in the West). These two worked their way into our hearts and stayed there. We routed for them despite their "glitches" and were so happy whe... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/18/2018 11:30 AM EDT The old saying goes… you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your family? But what if you could? Well for some people that is exactly what happens. On average there are over 400,000 children in foster care each year and of the 135,000 children are adopted each year, 59% come from the fost...

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/15/2018 9:50 AM EDT J.K.Rowling couldn't have imagined the phenomenon she created when she originally spun a story about a magical world and a boy wizard. Like so many of the comic book superheroes, Harry Potter has become its own universe with avid fans of all ages worldwide. When the eight films ended there was a certain sadness to see it all come to... Read More |
