First Man

Have you ever wondered what type of person it takes to want to travel into space? Obviously, they need to be adventurous, brave, intelligent and strong both physically and mentally. However, Astronauts are made up of a corps of unique individuals who all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Now imagine what it must have taken ... Read More

Hook

Who didn't grow up with the beloved story of Peter Pan? Can't you just remember of watching Wendy, John, and Michael as they learned to fly and followed Peter to Neverland? And of course who could forget the lovely fairy, Tinkerbell who was so jealous of Wendy that she tried to sabotage Wendy every chance she could. It was a wonde... Read More

Eighth Grade

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/09/2018 10:31 AM EDT
Who can forget those awkward teenage years when everything seemed catastrophic including one little pimple that may be here today, gone tomorrow? Or begging your parents to buy you the latest fashion, game, etc and screaming at them and pouting when they refused? And of course, the most dreaded place on earth in any teenager's live&hell...

A Star Is Born

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/01/2018 4:09 PM EDT
An actress emerges from her shell…a new director proves his worth…a movie that entices all of the senses and emotions in one's body… A Star is Born and the fourth iteration of the movie may be the best one to date. The first film from 1937 starred Janet Gaynor (Sunrise) and Fredric March (The Best Years of Our Lives) and tells ... Read More

Summer is over, the Fall has begun. Kids are back in school, learning and striving towards the goal of earning their High School Diplomas.

For years people have searched far and wide for the elusive Yeti/Bigfoot. Some say it doesn't exist. Others claim to have seen it. What if it really does exist and believes WE humans are the fictional creatures? Warner Bros. Animation brings this concept to life in their latest animated feature Small Foot. Set in the Himalay...

American Psycho

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/25/2018 11:46 AM EDT
In 1991 Bret Easton Ellis brought us his novel about a Wall Street serial killer called American Psycho. It was not without controversy and many retailers refused to stock it in their stores. It is disturbing while mildly satirical as it mocks both the gluttony of the 1980's Wall Street and the depravity of a sick, murderous mind. ... Read More

The Punisher

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/25/2018 10:04 AM EDT
The Punisher made his debut in Marvel Comics The Amazing Spider-Man #129 Comic Book in 1974. When he arrived he was a vigilante and deadly but certainly no saint or superhero. He murdered, kidnapped, extorted, coerced and did almost anything necessary to rid the world of criminals including the Mob family that killed his wife and children.&nb... Read More

X-men Trilogy Box Set

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/25/2018 9:13 AM EDT
In 1963 a group of mutants first made their appearance in Marvel Comic Books. They were called the X-Men. Almost forty years later the first feature film about this group of beings with extraordinary powers made its way to theaters. Directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects) it was pretty well received by critics and audiences alike.... Read More

Gotti

The Dapper Don/The Teflon Don that is what the media dubbed him. Mafia Boss is what authorities called him. To some, he was a criminal to others he was a savior who kept their streets clean from drugs and violence. I ironically he rose through the ranks of the mafia by committing heinous criminal acts including murder. whoever he ... Read More
