Killing Hasselhoff

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/29/2017 4:54 PM EDT
A death pool is when a group of people will get together and bet on who will die first. This concept was made extremely famous and notable in the 2016 movie Deadpool where bar patrons would bet on which of them would die first. Whoever wins gets the cash. Now imagine that concept among a group of friends who choose to bet on which celeb... Read More

Batman and Harley Quinn

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/29/2017 11:22 AM EDT
Warner Premiere, in conjunction with DC Comics, brings us back into the 1970's with an adult-ish type Batman movie. Despite the recommendation for ages 13 and older, I would definitely know your child before letting them watch this. Many things are implied, but it doesn't take much imagination to figure out what is going on, which is a defini... Read More

Lion King: Walt Disney Signature Collection

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/29/2017 9:19 AM EDT
Disney animation has had a long and storied past. From the original classics like Cinderella and Bambi to the newest film, Moana, Disney has produced exceptional movies with soundtracks that touch our lives. For many years, there seemed to be a lull in Disney films but all that changed in 1989 with&nbs... Read More

Ronin

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/28/2017 5:08 PM EDT
A Ronin is described as a wandering samurai in feudal Japan who had no lord or master. They frequently became mercenaries who killed others for money or who did jobs for hire that other people wouldn't consider attempting. In 1998, Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) starred in a film called Ronin, however, there were no traditional Samurai in... Read More

Inconceivable

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/28/2017 5:08 PM EDT
There are always "nanny horror stories" in the news. Babysitters who abuse their charges, steal things, etc. and in 1992 movies took it to another level with the story of a nanny our for revenge in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle starring Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business). Twenty-five years later we have another tale... Read More

Black Sails: The Complete Fourth Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/28/2017 3:28 PM EDT
Geoffrey Chaucer is attributed with coining the phrase "All good things must come to an end" and with Black Sails, that is sadly true. Starz aired its fourth and final season- of this epic story this past season and The Complete Fourth Season is available on Blu-ray for purchase.Much aligned with Starz' penchant for airing wonderfully enj...

The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season

(Leonard Buccellato) 8/28/2017 10:08 AM EDT
George A. Romero was not only the creator of the Zombie Horror genre, he was the inspiration for Kirkman's The Walking Dead series. To ignore George's impact on the horror genre at large, as well as the Zombie sub-genre, is doing him a great disservice. He may not have been a fan of this series and he even said The Walking Dead was "a soap ope... Read More

Prometheus

(Nathan M Rose) 8/28/2017 9:00 AM EDT
In Space, no one can hear you scream. But why? How did the Aliens come into being? Ridley Scott (Gladiator) and 20th Century Fox try to answer these questions with the start of a new prequel series for the Alien saga and its first film, Prometheus.Twenty-nine years before the ill fated day that the Nostromo set foot on LV-426 is the setting for the...

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/24/2017 7:53 AM EDT
DC has had a very big year with girl power and has proven that it knows what the audiences want to see from its women Superheros and as I repeatedly mention in my reviews, Warner Bros. really knows how to take a story and hit it right out of the park. Filling in a much-needed niche of female lead characters, Supergirl provides a rich superher... Read More

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/22/2017 4:11 PM EDT
Marvel has created a stupendous franchise that is loved by all. Once again they have taken comic book characters that were little known by the children today but loved by their parents and grandparents and brought those characters to life in a most colorful and impressive way. Keeping it light with family friendly humor has become the basis of thei... Read More
