The Dressmaker

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/26/2016 9:33 PM EDT
There are some stories of the past that are just epic. They tell a story, they involve you in their character's life to the point where you are invested in the outcome and you don't even know its happening until the movie is over. Finally, you let out your breath that you didn't even know you were holding. In this vein... Read More

When The Bough Breaks

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/26/2016 8:32 PM EDT
Hollywood is full of real life stories of the husband running off with the nanny, or having an affair, and there have been several movies made similarly. In fact, there have been movies made where the nanny becomes obsessed with the husband and it didn't end well for the nanny. Screen Gems and Sony decided to put a little spin... Read More

Warner Bros. has been on fire this year with their blockbuster releases. Superb actors, scintillating trailers and fantastic marketing, all paired with up with amazing directors and storylines has really put Warner Bros. at the top of their game in 2016.

Storks

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/19/2016 9:28 AM EDT
We all know that Storks deliver babies. I mean, come on, that's what our parents told us. And that's what we tell our children. But wait, we will all have some explaining to do, because in the Warner Bros. movie, Storks, they don't deliver babies – they deliver packages.Yes, you read it correctly. Pack... Read More

Suicide Squad

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/13/2016 10:54 AM EDT
Supervillains, anti-heroes, or bad guys? As Shakespeare said, "That is the question". Okay, he wasn't referring to DC's Suicide Squad movie, but who's really checking? All we know is that Superman's dead, Batman's catching bad guys, Will Smith plays a very expensive hitman, and the Joker's got a girlfriend so crazy that ... Read More

The Man in the High Castle Television Review

Man in the High Castle Season 2 Preview

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/12/2016 5:11 PM EDT
Travel back to the past in an alternate reality that is so horrifying that you can't take your eyes from the television screen. So many of the dystopian shows are based off recent and current novels, taking place at some unspecified futuristic time frame, mostly after World War Three, and aimed at the teenage population. ...

I Am Legend

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/6/2016 1:43 PM EDT
If you had to abandon your city because of an outbreak of a zombie vampire apocalypse, leave everything behind, and put every fiber of your being into the one person who might be able to save the world, who would it be? You'd want someone with a suave attitude, good looks, a sarcastic sense of humor to help keep him alive and the dialogue int... Read More

The Secret Life of Pets

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/5/2016 2:16 PM EDT
Illumination Entertainment, currently owned by Universal, has released yet another gem, The Secret Life of Pets. Beginning with Despicable Me in 2010, Hop (2011), The Lorax (2012), Despicable Me 2 (2013), Illumination waited two years until released Minions in 2015. Following the continuation of their prior brightly animated... Read More

The BFG

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/3/2016 6:01 PM EDT
The setting starts in an eerie looking orphanage on a dark, city street. A little girl wrapped in a blanket talks about the witching hour when people go missing. The brick buildings and cobblestone roads on a night when it's clearly rained, with a dark sky and birds flying overhead, set the stage for an impending dark and deep story... Read More

The Wild Life

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/30/2016 4:58 PM EDT
The Summit Entertainment (Twilight franchise, Divergent Franchise) distributed nWave Pictures production of The Wild Life (2016) is a continuation of the duo's joint venture into animation. While nWave Pictures concentrates on production of 3D/4D pictures, The Wild Life just doesn't compare to the Pixar and Disney anima... Read More
