As one of the productions under the Blum House juggernaut (in conjunction with Warner Bros.), the movie has to live up to its brethren, such as the likes of Paranormal Acti... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 10/12/2015 10:29 AM EDT "If we can dream it, we can do it", the line made famous by the now retired Horizons attraction at Epcot in Walt Disney World, perfectly sums up the message of hope that the new film, Tomorrowland, tries to convey it's audience.Tomorrowland, written/directed by Brad Bird (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The In...

(Sean Ferguson) 10/08/2015 3:07 PM EDT The Leftovers…Not Just For Dinner.Last year, HBO debuted a new series from writer Damon Lindelof, who was one of the masterminds behind the hit series "Lost".

(Nathan M Rose) 10/07/2015 1:20 PM EDT It seems, these days, zombies have replaced vampires as the most popular monster in pop culture. Zombie films, video games, and television shows have saturated our society so much it's easy to dismiss most of them.

(Bonnie Greenberg) 10/06/2015 3:18 PM EDT After being a fan of the original Magic Mike movie, I couldn't imagine where they would go with the story line for Magic Mike XXL. I'm a huge fan of Channing Tatum and I think he's an amazing actor (It doesn't hurt that he is totally gorgeous and a rockin' dancer). This movie did have a slow start for me, but got be...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/05/2015 10:15 AM EDT I wanted to give Jane the Virgin points for originality, until I found out it was based on a Telanovela called Juana La Virgen. As interesting and unique as the premise is, in a world full of superheroes and zombies, I just couldn't help but find it to be a little dumb. Garnering critical acclaim and a Golden Globe for the show'... Read More |

For five years, the show has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, but ,this year, they were upset by a different show.
