Swiss Army Man

(Sean Ferguson) 10/4/2016 11:33 PM EST
There have been so many moments while watching movies that I complain endlessly about the lack of creativity in Hollywood. Well, for the first time, I have to admit this is not one of those films. Out this week on Bluray is Swiss Army Man, starring Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine, Looper) and Mr. Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliff. (A... Read More

The Purge: Election Year

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/4/2016 11:14 PM EST
In theory, The Purge was an interesting and unique premise. No conscience for one night. Everything is legal including murder. The most anyone can hope for is to survive 12 hours of madness and mayhem and for those causing it… to enjoy their freedom. While the concept was great the reception wasn't what the ... Read More

Cell

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 9/27/2016 11:06 AM EST
As a commentary on today's world where most of us are in a zombie like state staring at our electronic devices instead of interacting with those around us, Cell is a meaningful look at what we as a society have become. As a movie based on a Stephen King Novel of the same name, it is a horrible mess that makes little sense. It's ... Read More

You know rap music has finally hit mainstream when it gets its own prime time soap opera. Empire premiered on FOX in 2015 and immediately became a success garnering Golden Globe and Emmy Nominations. Season Two was just as intense at the original, with drama in every one of the eighteen episodes in the season. I wasn't sure how long... Read More
