In 1957 Random House published Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It told the story of a green, furry creature who hated Christmas - can you believe that!?! Over the past sixty-one years, it has been made into several movies both animated and live-action. This holiday season Illuminations has taken on the challenge with it... Read More

The young adult fiction market has vastly increased over the years and the new trend is to take these novels and turn them into feature films.

Christopher Robin

In 1926 a collection of stories about a stuffed bear that came to life enthralled children everywhere. Written by A.A. Milne, the short stories became so popular that a second series was published two years later.

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies

Sorry to Bother You

How many times have you just sat down to dinner after a long, hard day of work when suddenly the phone rings. While mildly annoying to have to get up and answer it, it becomes even more frustrating when you find yourself trapped at one end of the phone while a telemarketer at the other end tries to sell you something you don't want or need. A... Read More

Law Abiding Citizen

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/29/2018 9:25 PM EDT
As Americans we expect our judicial system to protect us from the most hardened criminals. Those who violently break our laws should be locked behind bars to keep the innocent people of this country safe. At least that is what we hope would happen. Unfortunately, due to loopholes and prison overcrowding, this isn't always the case. ... Read More

According to one report, there are approximately 80,000 drug addiction related deaths each year in the United States alone and opioid addiction is reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. For so many treatment centers don't really seem to work in the long term so it is a triumph if someone can get clean and stay sober for a year. T... Read More
