The Post

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2017 11:39 AM EDT
The Washington Post was pretty much a local paper until it blew the roof off the White House when it reported on the Watergate scandal in 1973. However, it also made a name for itself as an investigative journalistic newspaper a few years earlier when it followed up on a New York Times story about the Vietnam War and published ... Read More

American Assassin

(Nathan M Rose) 12/5/2017 9:37 AM EDT
Back in 1999, an up and coming author, Vince Flynn, published a novel entitled Transfer of Power with a minor character named, Mitch Rapp. This character captivated the minds and hearts of Flynn's readers. Now, 17 years later, CBS Films and Lionsgate home entertainment have released the first in a new hopeful series, American Assassin based on ... Read More

Jumanji

Imagine being a nine or ten-year-old boy who is bullied at school and who is so afraid of his father that he lets a good man get fired for a mistake he made. For Alan Parrish (Robin Williams; Mrs. Doubtfire) this is his reality one day in 1969. As he contemplates running away from home, his fate is decided by another turn of events... Read More

Despicable Me 3

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/4/2017 5:13 PM EDT
Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment are bringing us the third movie in the Despicable Me franchise this holiday season. This is clearly not the last movie, as the fourth is scheduled to be released in 2024, which after watching number 3, is exciting. Despicable Me 3 built upon the franchise, introduced new characters and further devel... Read More

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/28/2017 5:17 PM EDT
J.K. Rowling came up with a brilliant idea- a boy who is a wizard and gets into a load of scrapes with his friends. The story continues in the second book and therefore, the second movie, courtesy of - or should we say luckily enough- provided by Warner Bros. Studios. Harry Potter is a mix of fantasy and adventure and mystery ... Read More

Logan Lucky

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/27/2017 11:00 PM EDT
Ever wanted to pull off the perfect heist? Ever have the opportunity and think you could plan a way to steal millions of dollars? What if that plan included breaking someone out of prison for less than 12 hours and sneaking them back in before the prison guards noticed they were gone? For Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum; Magic Mike) that is... Read More

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/27/2017 7:34 PM EDT
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is really the first movie in the Harry Potter Franchise where we can really see that Harry Potter would be lost without his friends. He is a true Gryffindor- loyal to all his friends and brave to the point of sometimes stupidity (which is why we love Harry Potter)- but clearly not so much as cut out for Rav... Read More

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/27/2017 7:19 PM EDT
As Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his third year, he once again faces an unknown foe in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Eagerly awaited by fans back in 2004, this third installment of the popular series also saw a changing of the guard with Director Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) replacing Chris Col... Read More

Leap!

As children, we all have dreams. Some want to grow up and be firefighters, some want to be cowboys and yet others want to be ballerinas. However, over time, dreams change and people grow up. Sometimes though, children get to live out their dreams or at least get the chance to try. Imagine what that must feel like – if ... Read More

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/22/2017 12:36 PM EDT
Not everyone is good in a social situation. Some people can be awkward which makes others feel uncomfortable causing them to treat the social outcast poorly. Many think those awkward individuals are stupid but they can be very smart and even downright brilliant. Some of them may be on the Autism spectrum or known previously as an ... Read More
