(Jennifer Broderick) 2/8/2017 9:35 AM EDT With a hit song, "Everything is Awesome" and an amazing first movie, The Lego Batman Movie is an easy ride into building a franchise. With the advent of the television show Gotham and the renewed interest in Superheroes and Villains by the younger generation, Batman is a huge hit with the children of all ages. Lionsg...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 3:43 PM EDT Generally, movies with a religious undertone tend to be controversial and when Jesus is the main character, that controversy tends to be doubled. Such is the case with Mel Gibson's (Braveheart) 2004 film The Passion of The Christ. While it opened to modest acclaim and solid box office numbers, it definitely had its detractors. ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 9:50 AM EDT So much is different in other parts of the world from what we know and are used to in the United States. There are strict rules regarding women having their heads covered, what theater and music can be enjoyed, and how the police deal with crimes. Relationships between husbands and wives are also different. Yet much o... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/7/2017 8:51 AM EDT We can't choose our family and many times we don't get along with them. We try to avoid getting together whenever possible but during the holidays, we often head home for a few days and suffer through the family drama. Of course, Hollywood likes to play on that drama and there is always a movie coming out dealing with ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 2/6/2017 8:40 AM EDT The 1960s were a decade filled with turmoil, protests, war and the end of an era of the working husband, stay at home mom, and the Leave it To Beaver mentality. Lionsgate brings American novelist Philip Roth's, American Pastoral, to the big screen and with it, brings to light the turmoil that visited many families when try... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/6/2017 8:12 AM EDT HBO is known for its award-winning television series and movies, so when one receives a Blu-ray from them, you can usually expect great things. Gripping stories, excellent production values, terrific cast and something that you would want to watch over and over again. Sadly, Vice Principals is probably one of the lower points ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/4/2017 8:17 AM EDT "John Wick is the guy you send to kill the boogeyman". Make no mistake about it, John Wick (Keanu Reeves; The Matrix) is a badass. He is not the guy you want to make angry, nor do you want to double cross him. He has skills in hand to hand combat and is an expert marksman. He will find you and make you pay before you kno...

(Judith Raymer) 2/3/2017 11:26 AM EDT It had been a long while since I'd seen a horror flick. I loved them as a kid, but somewhere along the way viewing them just trailed off. So, when the opportunity presented itself to view the latest chapter in the RING franchise, I wasn't so sure how I felt about seeing it. Then, I discovered that it had been directed by F. Javier...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/3/2017 10:34 AM EDT Why has travel to Mars become such a hot movie topic of late? Last year's The Martian was a cautionary tale of space exploration and the triumph of the human spirit. Other than the clichéd ending, it was a gripping and moving commentary on life and outer space. This month's The Space Between Us a... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/31/2017 10:32 AM EDT They say truth is stranger than fiction. And sometimes it can even be entertaining. Such is the case with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's movie, Masterminds. Based on a true story, the film gives a slightly humorous slant to one of the biggest bank heists in American history. Available now on Blu-ray an... Read More |
