The Intern

(Nathan M Rose) 1/19/2016 8:40 AM EST
Retirement - the goal of most working class citizens of the world. But once the excitement and novelty of having your life to yourself 24 hours a day is over, what do you do? What would society let you do? Are you still relevant in today's workforce? Can today's generation learn from the elderly? These questions, and more, are th... Read More

Sinister 2

(Leonard Buccellato) 1/12/2016 2:17 PM EST
Making movies is a difficult process - from budgeting to casting, writing the screenplay, as well as scoring and special effects. That being said, writing a great movie is, truly, like catching lightning in a bottle. When the perfect storm of events and talented people come together we are gifted with films like Jaws, The Godfather, Schindler's... Read More

The Visit

(Emily Hazlett) 1/11/2016 5:01 PM EST
The latest project from M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), The Visit, is available now on Blu-ray, and while The Visit has some cringe worthy moments and a few frights it's a little on the tame side as far as horror movies go.Becca (Olivia DeJonge; Hiding) and Tyler's (Ed Oxenbould; Alexander and The No Good, Very ...

The Transporter: Refueled

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/6/2016 9:40 AM EST
The Transporter, starring Jason Statham (The Expendables), was a trilogy in the early 2000's that all but put Statham on the acting map, proving he could carry a film as a leading man. As Frank Martin, he was the perfect combination of calm, cool and collected, with an element of "thug" underneath. The first film in the series... Read More

The Green Inferno

(Leonard Buccellato) 1/5/2016 3:22 PM EST
The Green Inferno, the latest film by Eli Roth (Hostel), was clearly inspired by Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust. It is also clear that Roth owes a debt of gratitude to the Italian filmmaker, since he was the king of low-budget gore. Deodato's film was banned in many countries, and most people at the time were uncertain of the origin o... Read More

Whether or not you watched The X-Files from 1993- 2002, you would have had to been living under a rock to not know the names Scully and Mulder. The characters, the actors who played them, and even the theme song for the television series, were widely known and easily identifiable. For nine seasons, these FBI agents invest... Read More

Whether or not you have seen one of the many versions of the classic story, everyone has heard the tale of Peter Pan.

He has a fairy named Tinker Bell for a friend and his archen... Read More

Ted 2

(Nathan M Rose) 12/15/2015 9:51 AM EST
A couple of years ago, a foul mouthed teddy bear named Ted took the box office by storm, and, in true Hollywood fashion, a sequel was greenlit before the movie hit home release. While the first film was just exploring the world of Ted and his best friend, John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg; Transformers: Age of Extinction), ... Read More
