Darkest Hour

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/25/2018 8:51 AM EDT
Winston Churchill was a magnificent orator. He would move people to action simply with his words. Many also consider him to be one of the greatest Brits of all time. He led England through Hitler and the volatile times of World War II. He was also known for drinking too much and being more than a bit eccentric and he could be mean... Read More

Game Night

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/22/2018 9:33 AM EDT
There is nothing wrong with a little harmless, competitive fun is there? What if it includes some sibling rivalry? What if it all goes awry? Game Night, the new film from Directors John Francis Daley (Vacation) and Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation), answers these questions in a mildly hilarious way. Starring Jason Bate... Read More

The Florida Project

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/20/2018 8:11 AM EDT
Homelessness in the United States has reached staggering proportions and shattered our normal perception of what a homeless person looks like. So often we automatically think of the bum on the street laying on a cardboard bed, the woman dressed in layers pushing around a shopping cart of old bags or blankets or the person at the street corner...

Homeland: The Complete Sixth Season

(Maureen Buccellato) 2/19/2018 3:36 PM EDT
From the beginning, Homeland has pulled viewers in with its intense storytelling and the ability to surprise viewers at any turn. From the romance and drama between Carrie Mathison and Nicholas Brody (and to his eventual demise) to the life-changing directions Danes' character has taken both personally and professionally, viewers have...

Black Panther

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2018 7:57 PM EDT
Over the years Marvel Studios has introduced us to an army of superheroes. From Iron Man to Captain America, Star-Lord to Black Widow and Spider-Man to Hulk they have given us a plethora of characters to enjoy while watching them save the world. This week they bring us an African King with powers in Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman; Get ... Read More

Wonder

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/13/2018 8:32 AM EDT
We have all heard the saying "kids can be cruel". This is especially true for middle school-aged children. They make fun of any little difference anyone displays and bully each other relentlessly. So imagine being a nine-year-old boy with facial deformities who was previously homeschooled stepping out into the world of m... Read More

Day of the Dead: Bloodline

(Leonard Buccellato) 2/8/2018 4:43 PM EDT
Day of the Dead: Bloodlines is the second remake of the bleak, George A. Romero film, released in 1985. This version of Day, Directed by Hèctor Hernández Vicens with the screenplay by Mark Tonderai and Lars Jacobson, brings us on the verge of humanity's destruction. Medical student Zoe Parker (S...

Fifty Shades Freed

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/8/2018 12:00 PM EDT
What started out as Twilight fan fiction has become an international phenomenon that has taken on a life of its own. In 2011, E.L. James' little BDSM story got published worldwide and the term "soccer mom porn" was born. The tale of the shy college student, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson; The Social ... Read More

A Bad Moms Christmas

(Jennifer Broderick) 2/6/2018 8:49 AM EDT
Universal Pictures loves to give us interactive movies with which we can all relate and really immersive sequels. A Bad Moms Christmas definitely fits into that category. While a little over the top and much exaggerated in the plot as to how moms react in real life, the underlying frustration of having to do it all and do it perfect... Read More

LBJ

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/6/2018 8:10 AM EDT
Everyone knows the events of that fateful day in November 1963. As President Kennedy's motorcade made its way down the street in Texas, shots rang out and numerous lives were changed forever. Closely behind the President's car was Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President of the United States. Within hours, he would take the oath ... Read More
