Tyler Perry (Gone Girl) has made a career of creating films for a distinct demographic and entertaining masses for years in the process. His Madea series of movies are successful comedies that are a hit with audiences every time they are released.

There are certain things that are synonymous with the Christmas holiday season…Carols, colorful lights, presents, and The Nutcracker. The ballet is famous the world over with some of the most recognizable music around.

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

Rowan Atkinson (Four Weddings and a Funeral) is known for his British, slapstick characters like Mr. Bean, and probably one of his most popular behind Bean is Johnny English. Johnny first graced the big screen in Johnny English back in 2003 and he returned again in 2011's Johnny English Reborn. Now, after a seven-year hiatus, he resurfa... Read More

The Twilight Saga: Extended Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/23/2018 8:37 AM EDT
Human beings seem to be fascinated by anything supernatural. Werewolves, ghosts, and vampires are often the subject of stories in books, on television and in movies. In 2005 author Stephenie Meyer threw her hat in the ring with her young adult novel Twilight. The book was a best seller, which spawned 3 more books in the series and... Read More

It's hard to imagine that it has been ten years since Twilight first graced the big screen. In 2005 the vision of writer Stephenie Meyer was published and became a sensation not only amongst young adults but by adults as well. Edward, Bella, and Jacob captivated people's imaginations and spawned three more books and a total of five movi... Read More
