Justice League

(Nathan M Rose) 3/15/2018 8:11 AM EDT
In 2013, Director/Writer/Producer Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) re-envisioned the DC Universe with the release of Man of Steel. A new take on Superman featuring British actor Henry Cavill (Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible - Fallout), Synder continued his "world building" with follow-up films Batman v. Superman, ...

Tomb Raider

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2018 5:05 PM EDT
In 1996, gamers worldwide were introduced to Lara Croft in the video game Tomb Raider. Described as "Indiana Jones with breasts", she became an instant hit with the heavily male based demographic. In 2001, Paramount Pictures brought Croft to life in the form of Angelina Jolie (Wanted; Mr. & Mrs. Smith) when Lara Croft:... Read More

Fear The Walking Dead: The Complete Third Season

(Leonard Buccellato) 3/13/2018 8:32 AM EDT
Fear the Walking Dead took some time to walk on steady legs, but season 3 bolted out of the gate with the Military compound being overrun and quickly continues with the unexpected death of Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis; Live Free or Die Hard) while eventually, Madison (Kim Dickens; Gone Girl) and her kids make it to the (relative)...

I, Tonya

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/12/2018 10:54 AM EDT
In 1994, the world watched as one of the biggest sports scandals unfolded before our eyes. The drama took center stage on an international level that culminated at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. The story, of course, was the physical attack on figure skater Nancy Kerrigan and the accusations that her competitor Tonya Hardin... Read More

Loving Vincent

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/8/2018 3:35 PM EDT
Vincent Van Gogh is often considered the father of Modern Art. He is revered as one of the most influential painters and his legacy is one of respected artistry mixed with stories of his madness. While alive he was poor, drank heavily and was considered to be crazy. After his death, his life and work have been studied and examined... Read More

A Wrinkle in Time

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/8/2018 8:20 AM EDT
In 1962, American Writer Madeleine L'Engle published the novel, A Wrinkle in Time. While it won critical acclaim, it was controversial in that it was a Science Fiction novel with a young, female protagonist. In 2003, Disney adapted the story for a television movie and this month they once again have re-envisioned it as a feature film. ... Read More

The Dark Crystal

(Maureen Buccellato) 3/6/2018 9:20 AM EDT
Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal was released in 1982 and became a staple of many 1980's kids' film experiences. The film, while geared towards children, wasn't a typical fluff piece that the 1980s family/children film genre can be guilty of. Through it, we were introduced to a whole new world of characters that have endured in our hea... Read More

Lady Bird

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/5/2018 1:59 PM EDT
Teenage girls can be a handful. Considering I used to be one and have two of my own now, I can attest to this statement. Emotions run high and physical bodily changes make things awkward and downright hostile sometimes. Teenagers in general (boys and girls) want more independence and challenge their parents constantly while naviga... Read More

Thor: Ragnarok

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/5/2018 12:23 PM EDT
For the last ten years, Marvel Studios has brought some of our favorite superheroes to life. From Ironman to Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk to Captain America, they have peaked our imagination. They even gave us more comical characters like Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool. In 2011, Marvel introduced audience... Read More

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/2/2018 4:31 PM EDT
There is no pain worse in the world than losing a child. As a parent, you feel helpless and often times lost. That pain is even worse when the circumstances behind that loss are suspect or due to criminal activity. For Mildred (Frances McDormand; Fargo), that pain is lived over and over again as she deals with her daughter's horrific... Read More
