Moonlight

(Jennifer Broderick) 2/27/2017 8:38 AM EST
It's rare that one gets to watch a movie about self-discovery but Lionsgate and A24 have released a movie that when you watch it, provides a profound sense of oneself and understanding of what it takes to mold a person from childhood to adulthood. Director Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) has taken a story and transforme... Read More

Get Out

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/23/2017 10:33 AM EST
Jordan Peele is known for being a comedian. Along with his partner Keegan Michael Key (Why Him?), they have starred in their own sketch comedy show and last year's successful movie, Keanu. So it's a little surprising to see he has written and directed a horror film called Get Out. Based on his background it doesn... Read More

Dirty Dancing 30th Anniversary Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/22/2017 9:05 AM EST
Dirty Dancing can't possibly be 30 years old!! It came out the summer before my junior year of high school and I'm not that old… am I (Don't answer that question)? When I saw the Blu-ray come across my desk, I was immediately thrown back to that more innocent time in my life and reminisced about sitting in the movie theater watch... Read More

Ahhhh... the sights, the sounds, and the smells of the Holiday Season. They bring back fond memories and induce excitement for the gift giving and receiving to come.

Bates Motel Season 5 Preview

(Sean Ferguson) 2/20/2017 11:18 AM EST
Monday, February 20th A&E will kick off the first episode of the Final season of Bates Motel in fantastic fashion. I have gotten to see the first episode of the new season and without diving deeply into it, I will say this, A&E did not disappoint. But first, you must remember the past, for if you don't, History will inevitably repe... Read More

Hacksaw Ridge

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/20/2017 8:41 AM EST
A conscientious objector is defined as someone who, for reasons of conscience, objects to serving in the armed forces. Back in the 1940's, Desmond Doss was labelled as such even though he actually enlisted in the military. His refusal to even hold a gun, let alone shoot one, earned him the designation and a court martial hearing.&nb... Read More

The Great Wall

The Great Wall of China spans over 5,500 miles and took 1,700 years to build. It is made of stone, brick, and wood and was meant to keep enemies from crossing the border into China. A marvel of labor and architecture that can be seen from outer space, it has numerous stories to tell. Some of these stories include legends that are ... Read More

Parking lot. After school. 3pm. Think you've seen it? Think again.
