Independence Day

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/10/2016 11:40 AM EST
It's been 20 years since Bill Pullman (American Ultra) uttered those now famous words "Today we celebrate our independence day", and made the world fall in love with a new, timeless classic movie – Independence Day. Now, in anticipation of this summer's sequel, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has released a sp... Read More

The Revenant

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/28/2016 4:13 PM EST
Based on the 2002 novel by Michael Punke, The Revenant is aptly named. Defined as "a person who has returned, especially supposedly from the dead", the film explores the life and (almost) death of trapper Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio; Titanic). While loosely based on Glass's life, the book and movie fantasize h... Read More

Krampus

When you think of holiday horror movies, you don't often think of Christmas. However, if you've ever heard the Austrian Folklore about a horned, half goat-half demon creature that punishes children who misbehave and don't believe in Saint Nicholas anymore, then you realize the story lends itself to a creepy, horror tale. Universal Studi... Read More

Ride Along 2

(Nathan M Rose) 4/26/2016 9:00 AM EST
Back in January 2014, a quirky little comedy called Ride Along, starring Ice Cube (22 Jump Street, Barbershop: The Next Cut ) and Kevin Hart (Get Hard, Central Intelligence ), came out of nowhere and quickly became box-office gold. The story was simple — a hardened Atlanta detective James Payton (Cube), is not too happy wi... Read More

(Nathan M Rose) 4/11/2016 2:25 PM EST
Six years ago, a little known show named Archer was showcased during San Diego Comic Con, and the rest, shall we say, is history.

Point Break

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/29/2016 10:03 AM EST
In 1991, a movie called Point Break hit theaters and starred Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing) and Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon). It was a surfer's/stoner's dream and has a cult-like following. In 2015, someone at Warner Brothers Entertainment thought it would be a good idea to remake the film but using all ex... Read More

The Hateful Eight

(Sean Ferguson) 3/28/2016 4:06 PM EST
"What would make a man brave a blizzard, and kill in cold blood, I'm sure I don't know. You'd be surprised what a man would do."But with Tarantino at the helm, you know people are gonna die!The Hateful Eight, ironically Quentin Tarantino's eighth major motion picture, is out now on Blu-ray and DVD.

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

(Eric English) 3/28/2016 1:02 PM EST
Few spectacles of screen transcend generations with as much cultural reverberations as Star Wars. To revel in its current incarnation is to return to its roots as an experimental space opera, crafted in the mind of a man who would come to be both revered and despised for following his calling.Spanning the gamut of nearly four decades from the belov...

(Nathan M Rose) 3/25/2016 11:50 AM EST
Those lovable chipmunks are back, and this time they are headed on a Road Trip, or, aptly called in the chipmunk vernacular, "A Road Chip"Dave has decided it is time for The Chipmunks to settle down in life and concentrate more on being teenagers than living the life of musicians. Aside from that, not much has changed for our little... Read More
