Peanuts

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2016 9:43 AM EST
For older generations, The Peanuts cartoon is a classic comic that fills us with a sense of nostalgia as soon as we see those lovable faces. Based on those memories, the idea of putting together a full length film probably seemed like a good one. Tapping into the past with a built in audience while allowing adults to introduce their chi... Read More

The 33

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/16/2016 3:05 PM EST
Mining is hard work and dangerous. In fact, on average, over 1000 miners die each year. When a cave in occurs, any survivors eventually die under the rock because companies find it hopeless and expensive to even try to rescue them. Luckily, in 2010, that wasn't the fate for 33 Chilean miners, as the world watched and hoped f... Read More

Steve Jobs

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/15/2016 5:08 PM EST
To some, Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender; X-Men: First Class) was brilliant. To others, he was an over-inflated ego, and, to a select few, he was the closest to God they think they will ever get. Whatever he was, there is no denying he was a visionary and most probably brilliant. While there have been a few movies and books a... Read More
