(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 |

(Nathan M Rose) 09/29/2015 10:46 AM EDT Director Kevin Smith once said that the golden age of independent films has left us, and what we are left with is just big studio films created by a committee. Most days, I hold to these truths. However, once in a while, a film comes along that throws caution to the wind and surprises you.Cop Car, written and directed by Jon Watts (director of the ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/28/2015 11:38 AM EDT I'm not sure why studios think it's a good idea to take every successful TV show and make it into a feature film. I understand they feel it will be an easy moneymaker with a "built in audience", but too many times they come into it with a half-cocked script that doesn't do the show justice. While Entourage: The Movi... Read More |

The Green Arrow and his friends are back to battle the forces that would do harm to the city he is sworn to protect.Aside from the "villain" of week motif that usually plaques these type of shows, this seasons main "badie" is a...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/24/2015 11:43 AM EDT I love history, especially legends and folk lore, so I was excited when Sleepy Hollow came to television in 2013. The basic premise was interesting and, of course, centered around the tiny town in upstate New York and the antagonist, the Headless Horseman. That first season laid the foundation for an apocalyptic battle of biblical proportions... Read More |

Now, Disney has brought the classic movie to life in a live action version that begs to be treasured just as much as the original.Poor Cinderella is the unloved servant girl of her wicked Stepmother (Cate Blanchette, Blue Jas...
