Annabelle: Creation

(Nathan M Rose) 10/26/2017 9:14 AM EDT

Creepy looking faces that talk would probably make anyone run away screaming but Annabelle definitely evokes that reaction.In the latest... Read More

Just like Rocky or Million Dollar Baby, the action itself isn't th... Read More

Alfred Hitchcock is arguably one of the best directors of all time. Known as the "Master of Suspense" he helped to innovate psychological thriller films and influence many of the directors working today.

Only The Brave

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/19/2017 11:44 AM EDT
There are people who selflessly put their lives on the line for others all the time and our civil service workers can be counted among this group. Police officers and firefighters put themselves in harms way without much thought to the danger that could befall them. They are unsung heroes who don't get as much credit as they deserve.&nb...

Girls Trip

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/16/2017 2:03 PM EDT
Everyone should have a few good friends they can count on and keep for life and many people meet that group in their college years. There is something about being in our late teens/early twenties with a new found freedom that makes us want to go out and do stupid things with others, which helps us form a bond with the people we are close to a...
