Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/20/2017 8:55 AM EDT
It has been twenty-two years since the original Jumanji film starring Robin Williams graced the silver screen. A lot has changed in that time - grunge music is out, pop music is in, mobile phones are no longer a luxury, but a necessity and board games are no longer the preferred form of entertainment. Video games have taken over and to that end, Co... Read More

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

(Nathan M Rose) 12/19/2017 11:32 AM EDT
Back in 2015, director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, X-Men: First Class) and famed comic book writer Mark Millar unloaded a new kind of comic book film unto the world entitled Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kingman was a slick, glossy film that wore it's R rated badge proudly. It was filled with tongue in cheek jokes, a "bondesque... Read More

Boston

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/19/2017 10:08 AM EDT
"Boston Strong" - the phrase has come to symbolize a feeling of hope and community surrounding a horrible tragedy and a horrific act of terrorism on American soil. The 2013 event shone a spotlight on the City of Boston and the Boston Athletic Association and has sparked two major motion pictures. It also prompted director Jon Dunham (Spir... Read More

Stronger

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/19/2017 10:03 AM EDT
In April of 2013, the landscape of Boston and the marathon were changed forever. A simple act of terrorism rocked the city and the Boston Athletic Association to its very core and kept the world waiting with bated breath as the drama unfolded. On that day at 2:49 pm, two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the race killing three people,... Read More

Dunkirk

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/18/2017 5:01 PM EDT
There is a plethora of movies about World War II, Wonder Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Pearl Harbor- just to name a few. We are obsessed with the superheroes, the love story, the underdog, and the victims of that time period. We immerse ourselves in the romanticization of the drama and stories that are derived fro...

Victoria & Abdul

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/18/2017 9:54 AM EDT
Queen Victoria (Judi Dench; Skyfall) was known for being cantankerous and mean especially as she aged so it's interesting that later in her life she found an unlikely friendship in a poor young man from India. Their relationship became a thorn in the side of the British Empire and her household staff but she obviously didn't care and as the Q... Read More

Men in Black Trilogy

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/15/2017 2:54 PM EDT
There are many people who believe there are aliens out there in the universe and some who think they live amongst us. There are also people who believe there is a secret government agency covering up the existence of aliens. Nineteen ninety-seven's comedy and subsequent sequels take a humorous look at the idea that both aliens and a... Read More

Fuller House: The Complete Second Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/14/2017 3:58 PM EDT
If you were a kid of the 80's and 90's, you most likely watched Full House every week. The half-hour comedy centered on the Tanner family lead by their Patriarch, Danny Tanner (Bob Saget; America's Funniest Videos). After his wife's passing, Danny's brother in law, Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos; ... Read More

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Ever since Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out in 2015, audiences have been on pins and needles waiting for the next installment in the Star Wars saga and, aside from a few minor issues, fans will not be disappointed.While the plot has mainly been shrouded in secrecy (and this review will try to continue with that so as to let...

Home Again

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2017 11:18 AM EDT
As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated, "It takes a village to raise a child" and it certainly seems that way in Reese Witherspoon's (Walk the Line) latest romantic comedy, Home Again. While the concept is only one part of the plot, it seems to be a fairly significant part and one of the reasons three young men are... Read More
