Mission: Impossible 25th Anniversary Collectors Edition

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/18/2021 10:49 AM EST
In September of 1966, an action/spy fiction television show first aired on CBS. Mission: Impossible aired for seven seasons (171 episodes) before going off the air and gave us an iconic line, "This message will self-destruct", that many still recognize today. Fifteen years later, the show was revived but only lasted two years.... Read More

Spiral: From The Book of Saw

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/13/2021 8:41 PM EST
There are various subgenres under the movie category horror. Some are blood and gore and carnage, some are psychological thrillers, and some are both. Back in 2004, the world got a glimpse of the latter when Saw became an international hit. Over the next thirteen years, seven more films were released to varying degrees of success. ... Read More

Profile

Social Media has opened up a whole new world full of ideas and ideals to individuals of all ages. It can also be a scary place where despicable individuals lurk to prey on innocent and/or naïve people, many of whom are impressionable young women. These predators try everything from indecent exposure online to meeting up with these ... Read More

Army of The Dead

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/13/2021 8:42 AM EST
What would happen if you took Ocean's Eleven and threw in a Zombie apocalypse? I'm guessing it would look something like Army of the Dead – not to be confused with the 2008 movie of the same name. The components are all there…a flashy casino, a vault full of money, and a TON of zombies. However, these aren't just any ... Read More

Shrek

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/11/2021 2:20 PM EST
Sometimes a movie comes along that takes everyone by surprise and becomes a huge box office hit. Twenty years ago, one of these films was Universal Studios'/DreamWorks' animated hit, Shrek. With an all-star cast of comedic vocal talent, the movie was funny and sweet and so successful that it went on to have three sequels (with a... Read More

The Marksman

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/11/2021 9:51 AM EST
Actor Liam Neeson (Schindler's List) has a particular set of skills…He can scowl with the best of them, he can expertly handle a firearm, and he can threaten a bad guy with a gravelly voice and sound menacing. He has made a career of, more often than not, portraying these types of characters and generally does a good job of it. So, whe... Read More

Justice Society: World War II

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/10/2021 8:18 PM EST
There have been forty DC Universe animated original movies made beginning in 2013 all the way through the year 2020. These direct-to-video films offer fans creative options to watch some of the comic books' series most beloved works while also bringing new life to this world by giving audiences a number of original plots as well. The comb... Read More

Wrath of Man

(Alyn Darnay) 5/7/2021 8:30 AM EST
I've missed the unique street gangster films Director Guy Ritchie makes. He has a style of creating this type of film that just stands as a category all its own. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000) are my two favorites. So I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of "Wrath Of Man" right after I heard he was makin... Read More

Wrath of Man

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/6/2021 7:07 PM EST
If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, what must wrath of man look like? If you ask Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes), it looks a lot like a very angry Jason Statham (The Transporter Series). Well… let's face it, how often do we see Statham happy in a movie? It is a rare occasion indeed and in MGM Pictures Wrath of Man,... Read More

Big Fish

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/5/2021 9:42 PM EST
Have you ever known someone who always exaggerates when they tell a story? The details become more and more grandiose every time and the stories take on a life of their own. What if the fanciful narrator happens to be your very own father who has spent your entire life embarrassing you with these tall tales – even taking center stage on... Read More
