(Nathan M Rose) 12/9/2019 4:32 PM EDT When It: Chapter One hit the theaters back in 2017, New Line Cinema knew it had a hit on its hands, but not one that would go on to be the highest-grossing horror film to-date. Now, in 2019, the back part of the book finally makes its way to the masses with It: Chapter Two.It: Chapter Two takes place 27 years after the timeline of the fir... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/9/2019 3:47 PM EDT The late 1980's/early 1990s were all about decadence, impulsivity and indulgence in this country and New York City was probably at the center of it all. Investment brokers were making a lot of money and showing it off with expensive cars, beautiful homes, and lavish gifts. They also enjoyed their money and would often blow off... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/5/2019 6:41 PM EDT It's just a simple, harmless childhood game, right? Everyone grows up playing hide and seek. However, when it becomes a real scenario of life and death, it's no longer a game. That is the concept behind directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet (Devil's Due) horror/thriller, Ready or Not. The scre... Read More |
 
(Leonard Buccellato) 12/4/2019 11:20 AM EDT For a show that has won 260 awards, 59 of which were Emmys, and countless accolades and praise, it has received more than its fair share of slings and arrows, too. Most of which came during this last season.Game of Thrones was the darling of its fan base, not to mention most of the critics, as well. That is, until the rushed and much-maligned Seaso...

(Maureen Buccellato) 12/3/2019 9:38 AM EDT Why is it that the powers that be in Hollywood think that almost every novel should be turned into a major motion picture? Sometimes the outcome is worthy of the original work but more often than not the results are less than stellar. Part of the problem is that novels usually have so many details that movies would need to be several hou... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/27/2019 12:09 PM EDT In 2012 Little, Brown and Company published a novel by Maria Semple called Where'd You Go, Bernadette. The book, which sat on the New York Times Bestseller list for a year, is told mostly through correspondence with some narration by Bernadette's teenage daughter Bee thrown in. Annapurna Pictures bought the film's rights to adapt the stor... Read More |

Three years later he returned to the character once again in the sequel, London Has Fallen. This year the third installment... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/19/2019 8:57 AM EDT I read a quote somewhere…"Music is heard with the ears, understood with the heart" and I thought how true that statement was. There are so many styles of music worldwide but we don't always need to understand the language the song is sung in to sense that the lyrics are speaking to us personally. From Country to Rap to Heavy ... Read More |
(Leonard Buccellato) 11/18/2019 5:07 PM EDT In 1987 I was not ready for RoboCop. By then I had already experienced more than my share of Horror, Sci-Fi and Action films. Sitting in that darkened theater with my friends, watching the hyper-violent, and frenetically paced movie, I was struck by how it had so much more to say than just 'look at how bloody I am!' RoboCop was making... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 11/12/2019 7:49 PM EDT Middle school…the hormones, the bullying, the embarrassing situations that lurk behind every corner. Walking that fine line between childhood and young adult can be difficult to navigate, which is why there have been numerous films highlighting the trials and tribulations of that tumultuous time in one's life. Of course, none... Read More |
