(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/2/2017 3:12 PM EDT Judge Dredd made his debut in British comic books as early as the late 1970's as a law enforcement officer in Mega City One, a dystopian society set sometime in the future. His authority includes arresting, convicting, sentencing and, if necessary, executing criminals in an effort to keep the peace. Then in 1995 Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) broug... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/1/2017 11:13 AM EDT There have been numerous books and movies about Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill over the years and in a 2002 poll, he was named the greatest Briton of all time. He led the United Kingdom through some tumultuous times and was always seen as a great statesman. However, behind the scenes, he wasn't necessarily as eloquent sometim... Read More |
 
(Judith Raymer) 6/1/2017 10:02 AM EDT As many a young girl before and after, I dreamed of being Wonder Woman. Years [decades] would pass with multitudes of proposed actors and storylines inspiring an "eh, I can see that," at best. Then came the age of MCU & DCEU (Marvel Cinematic & DC Extended Universes, respectively); and, of course, Gal Gadot (Fast & Furious; Ke... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/30/2017 1:31 PM EDT In 1960, Anthony Perkins introduced the world to Norman Bates, a serial killer wielding a knife. It became a classic in the world of horror films and set a standard of what scares us. Over Sixty years later, his son, Oz Perkins, made his writing and directorial debut with The Blackcoat's Daughter, a psychological thriller that pays a little bit of ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/30/2017 11:06 AM EDT The last day of school is a happy occasion for every student and teacher but especially gratifying for high school seniors finishing their formal education for good (unless of course, they plan to go to college). At Roosevelt High School, that means tons of senior pranks and teacher frustration. This year it also means teacher reviews and terminati... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/30/2017 9:34 AM EDT Seventeen years ago, Hugh Jackman (The Prestige) commanded the screen as the brooding, mutant Wolverine in the movie X-Men. We've seen his story evolve, as he becomes a reluctant hero while battling the demons of his past. He resists Charles Xavier's (Patrick Stewart; Star Trek: The Next Generation) assistance, yet aids the group in battlin... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 5/25/2017 10:15 AM EDT Apparently, there was a fourth installment to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise back in 2011. On Stranger Tides. While the box office success tells otherwise, the film is likely the most panned. If Pirates fans can overlook their disappointment with the last installment, they will be more than content to have returned for thi... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 5/24/2017 3:46 PM EDT Full (or, at least, sincere) Disclosure: Upon hearing early whispers of the long rumored big screen resuscitation of Baywatch, I felt like the inspiration for that "slap in the face" emoji. That's as much as the Hoff and I agree. The original Mitch Buchannon, David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider; Guardians of The Galaxy 2), disclose... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 5/23/2017 12:09 AM EDT Meeting the girlfriend's family for the first time can be nerve-wracking, especially when she is white and they haven't been told that you are an African-American male. Let's face it, for all the talk, racism still exists in this country. That was the dilemma for Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya; Sicario). He was going to the home ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/22/2017 4:36 PM EDT The last few seasons of HBO's hit show Girls, while still being well written and acted, has made one wonder if it is just time to pack up and go. How long can we play out the "single, not sure I want to grow up or even how to" drama? Well, we have our answer…Six Seasons. HBO ended the series this April on a high no... Read More |
