(Jennifer Broderick) 4/3/2017 11:07 AM EST Warner Bros. is turning out to be what I would consider one of the smartest studios around. Not only did they work with J.K. Rowling to provide one of the world's most popular movie franchises to people of all ages, but they have made the best business decision to bring the Harry Potter movies to 4K UHD. Harry Potter and The De... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 4/3/2017 9:07 AM EST Warner Bros. has been amazing moviegoers over the last few years with their movie content, storylines, and choice of cast. In the last year, they have also shown incredible foresight into bringing some of their prior blockbuster releases into the new digital technology. The Harry Potter franchise has enthralled kids and adults... Read More |
 
(Judith Raymer) 3/30/2017 10:59 AM EST "Kind of disjointed," whispered one correspondent. "Distracting…," murmured another. Yet, they all boisterously agreed loudly that they found themselves laughing...increasingly. "It was very funny," many, if not all, declared. Wherever the disconnect might be, this film is truly funny, inventiv... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 3/28/2017 9:58 AM EST For all the Harry Potter fans out there, J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. has rewarded us with a "prequel" to the beloved magical series (rumored to be the first of possibly five- yes, five!) that creates its own story without losing the Harry Potter vibe that is central to the stories. Magic,&nb... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 9:58 PM EST J.K Rowling wrote seven books in the Harry Potter series but the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was so large and full of details that it was broken into two movies. I'm sure Warner Bros. also saw it as a chance to prolong the inevitable end of the series and an opportunity to make more money. In all... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 9:18 PM EST It is hard to believe that it has been almost 20 years since the first book in the Harry Potter series was published and 16 years since the first film was released. Both the books and the movies garnered boundless success and have now spawned a second generation of fans. As newer technology advances the audience'... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 1:00 PM EST When I heard about 20th Century Women, I was intrigued. People said it was funny and it got very strong reviews. It had a great cast, so I added it to my "must watch" list but took my time to see it. Now that it is coming to Blu-ray, it's time to revisit the film and write down my thoughts. Inter... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 11:40 AM EST In 1958, illustrator Peyo (Pierre Culliford), brought The Smurfs comics to Belgium. It's popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually became an animated show on American Television. I can remember Saturday mornings in the 1980's in front of the television watching those little blue creature... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/23/2017 11:48 AM EST When I was a little girl, I loved cheesy television shows. The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and CHiPs were among some of my favorites. Granted, they weren't great television by today's standards but when you are young you don't really worry about those things. It was fun television that entertained and ther... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/23/2017 11:07 AM EST In 1993, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debuted on television and became very successful among children. Based on a Japanese series, Power Rangers generally consisted of five teenagers who were trained and morph into superheroes. The franchise has made over $6 million in merchandising with action figures and Halloween costumes, ... Read More |
