(Nathan M Rose) 6/30/2016 5:01 PM EDT In today's day and age, war is a constant. We send our troops out to various countries around the world and have to ask ourselves if the damages are really worth it sometimes. With the advanced technology that now exists in the military, some argue there are less casualties, but, in some cases, the opposite could be true. Gavin Hood's... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 6/27/2016 12:16 PM EDT It has been over 23 years since the original X-Files debuted on Fox Television, laying the groundwork for most of the modern television that we still watch today. The series centered on FBI agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and his partner Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they tried to prove the existence of a government conspiracy on the highest ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/26/2016 5:49 PM EDT He's big, green, ugly and lives in a swamp. In 2001, we fell in love with him so much that we ended up with three sequels and a Broadway musical. He is forever engrained in a generation's mind, and now Dreamworks has decided to release the movie that started it all on Blu-ray as the anniversary edition of&n... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2016 11:42 AM EDT What if all those cult religions that believe aliens are coming to save them were right? What if there was something else out there? What if some of them lived amongst us and we never even knew it? Midnight Special explores this idea, along with the thought that a little boy can be more than he seems and the government knows more ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2016 10:50 AM EDT The horror genre has evolved from what it was back in the 1970s and '80s, with icon films like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. I'm not sure that evolution is for the better, because even though graphics and special effects have advanced, the plots, scares, and goriness haven't necessarily improved.... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/15/2016 9:51 AM EDT Director Ridley Scott (Alien) is notorious for lengthy feature films. His movies tend to run over two hours and, originally, his latest feature, The Martian, was closer to three. The theatrical version was edited down to two hours and twenty four minutes and some felt even that was too long. Now Twentieth Century Fox Home En... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 6/13/2016 10:40 PM EDT In 2013, two films came out within six months of each other about the United States White House being taken over by terrorists and the President taken hostage. One film succeeded; one didn't. And, in the wake of box office success, a sequel was green lit for Olympus Has Fallen entitled London Has Fallen.Following in the footsteps of Olympus Has...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/13/2016 10:24 PM EDT So many times when you see a movie or television show about Major League sports, there is a common theme running throughout...Babes, Booze and Bling. HBO's hit series, Ballers, has plenty of all three, plus something extra thrown in.Spencer Strasmore (Dwayne Johnson; Furious 7) was a world class football play... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 6/10/2016 10:46 AM EDT Welcome to Zootopia, Walt Disney's 55th animated feature,which will be released this week on BluRay, DVD and Digital download. Zootopia is all about a world where humans didn't exist. Animals evolved upright on 2 feet, wear clothes and have jobs. They live as humans do. Not really the most original idea, but there was a ton of thought as ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/7/2016 10:25 PM EDT "My name is Kunta Kinte". I had just turned six years old when Roots became a television event so, even though I had never seen it, I knew what that phrase meant. For almost forty years it meant courage, spirit and hope for an entire race of people. And now, as the History Channel airs a retelling of Alex Haely's classic... Read More |
