(Jennifer Broderick) 5/15/2017 4:28 PM EDT There have always been space movies spattered throughout the years and they all seem to instill a sense of survival mode while watching. You root for the astronaut to hold his breath when the face mask cracks; you hope the rocket will have enough fuel to make it safely back home, and you pray that the Apollo doesn't burn up re-entering th...

(Nathan M Rose) 5/9/2017 10:58 AM EDT Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner… It was with these words the world was introduced to the trailer for the Michael Mann (Public Enemies) film that would become a classic. Bringing together two powerhouse actors face to face for the firs... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/9/2017 9:56 AM EDT In the past, there have been television shows about life in prison. That is nothing original. However, most of them focus on men in prison so when Orange is the New Black, which views life in a women's correctional facility, debuted on Netflix on July 11, 2013, it was somewhat groundbreaking. Not only was it differen... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 5/8/2017 5:07 PM EDT For those who might have missed the theatrical release (and, those who didn't), the highly anticipated Fifty Shades Darker is being released on Blu-ray & DVD (with a Digital HD copy included). The explosively popular second installment of the erotic (ahem) literary Fifty Shades series, and sequel to the "not e... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/8/2017 4:22 PM EDT HBO has more original programming than ever before and the majority of it is top notch, award-winning fare. This year, they added another show to their line up and it seems to want to continue the tradition of excellence they have put forth. Divorce debuted on October 9, 2016, and by November it had been renewed for a second season. &nb... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/4/2017 9:50 AM EDT In 2014, Marvel Studios released one of their lesser known movies, Guardians of the Galaxy. Expecting the film to be modestly successful, I'm sure they were shocked when it became a huge summer blockbuster. With cute characters, funny moments, a kick butt soundtrack and some great special effects, it quickly became an audience ... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 5/2/2017 1:59 PM EDT It always amazes me as to what makes a picture popular. Is it the stars headlining the film? Is it the studio that releases the film? Is it all the advertising used to promote it? What if it all came down to the story that drove the film? If that were the case, The Salesman would be a box office success right up there alongside Logan... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/2/2017 11:55 AM EDT In 1995, Bre-X, a Canadian mining company announced to the world they had found significant gold deposits in Busang, Indonesia. Overnight, they became a huge success and their penny stock suddenly was worth significantly more money per share. However, by 1997, everything fell apart when independent consultants couldn't replicate the... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/2/2017 10:58 AM EDT Everyone knows that even before A Dog's Purpose opened in theaters this past January it was embroiled in a scandal. A video surfaced of what looked like a trainer forcing a terrified dog into a pool of rushing water and animal cruelty allegations were tossed around. What started out as PR for a movie full of cute dogs ended up... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/2/2017 10:00 AM EDT It's very rare when a sequel manages to be as good as the original movie and even rarer still when the sequel is actually better than the original. You can probably count on your right hand how many times that has happened in filmmaking but, if you did, you would have to include The Expendables 2 in that illustrious grouping. ... Read More |
