Jigsaw

In October of 2004, a little unknown film entitled Saw, by then unknown writer/director James Wan (Furious 7) and writer Leigh Whannell, rewrote the modern slasher horror film and created a new modern horror killer, Jigsaw (Tobin Bell; The Flash). It went on to spawn many sequels before it's "finale" in 2010... Read More

November Criminals

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/18/2018 11:07 PM EDT
Take a coming of age/teenage angst movie, add a murder mystery, stir vigorously, throw it against the wall and see what sticks. Throw in some the best, young talent Hollywood has to offer right now. Finally, give it some obscure name and you have the formula for November Criminals. Starring Ansel Elgort (The Fault In Our Stars) and Chlo... Read More

Den of Thieves

(Judith Raymer) 1/18/2018 9:11 AM EDT
Spoilers, spoilers...at this time, I do not believe that I can adequately… justly...discuss this film without blowing major plot points, and spoiling swaths of emotional highs and lows. But, before throwing any of those in your unexpecting face...Ever since the first trailer for Den of Thieves was released back in October 201... Read More

12 Strong

For those who were not alive when Pearl Harbor was attacked, the biggest terrorist attack ever on United States soil happened on September 11, 2001. The Taliban targeted major buildings in the Northeast setting off a wave of panic and patriotism across this country. Of course, this also set our military into action and, unbeknownst to m...

With the success of 2014's The Lego Movie and 2017's The Lego Batman Movie, Warner Bros. decided to continue the franchise and created a film based on the popular Lego Ninjago toy line called, appropriately, The Lego Ninjago Movie. I must admit that after having enjoyed the first two films very much and finding them surprisingly funny and delightfu... Read More

Blade Runner 2049

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/15/2018 4:00 PM EDT
In 1982, Ridley Scott (Alien) gave us a highly stylized movie called Blade Runner. It was set in the future and starred Harrison Ford (Star Wars: Episode IV -A New Hope). Thirty-five Years later, Director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) gives us the sequel, Blade Runner 2049. It continues the story of the ... Read More

The Commuter

Millions of people everyday doing the same thing over and over again. They leave their nice little homes in the suburbs, get on a train into Manhattan, go to work in some high rise building all day, get back on the train, and head home back to the suburbs. Nothing much changes from one day to the next and nothing exciting ever really ha... Read More

The novel tells the tale of an alien entity that haunts the fictional town of Derry, Maine, and feeds on its inhabits. In early 1990s ABC gave Pennywise his first appearances on film in a made for tv miniseries. Now 37 years later Warner Bros. gives Penny... Read More

Battle of the Sexes

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/9/2018 9:22 AM EDT
The year was 1973. Equal Rights and Feminism were at the forefront of American People's minds. Former Champion tennis player and male chauvinist Bobby Riggs (Steve Carrell: The Office) spouted off about how women shouldn't be playing tennis in the same league with men and challenged the top female players to a match to prove once and fo...
