Johnny English Strikes Again

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/24/2018 11:28 AM EDT
Rowan Atkinson (Four Weddings and a Funeral) is known for his British, slapstick characters like Mr. Bean, and probably one of his most popular behind Bean is Johnny English. Johnny first graced the big screen in Johnny English back in 2003 and he returned again in 2011's Johnny English Reborn. Now, after a seven-year hiatus, he resurfa... Read More

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Blu-ray Review

The Twilight Saga: Extended Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/23/2018 8:37 AM EDT
Human beings seem to be fascinated by anything supernatural. Werewolves, ghosts, and vampires are often the subject of stories in books, on television and in movies. In 2005 author Stephenie Meyer threw her hat in the ring with her young adult novel Twilight. The book was a best seller, which spawned 3 more books in the series and... Read More

Twilight

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/22/2018 4:50 PM EDT
It's hard to imagine that it has been ten years since Twilight first graced the big screen. In 2005 the vision of writer Stephenie Meyer was published and became a sensation not only amongst young adults but by adults as well. Edward, Bella, and Jacob captivated people's imaginations and spawned three more books and a total of five movi... Read More

Whitney

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/16/2018 9:54 AM EDT
If one were to compile a list of the greatest female singers of all time it would certainly include Aretha Franklin, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Mariah Carey. The list, of course, would be incomplete though without the addition of the incomparable Whitney Houston. The daughter of Cissy Houston and cousin of singer Dionne Warwick... Read More

Barry: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/15/2018 4:18 PM EDT
HBO has a long history of creating quality television with fantastic drama series and humorous comedies alike.

Hook

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/11/2018 10:04 AM EDT
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

A Star Is Born

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/1/2018 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

Smallfoot

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/26/2018 2:42 PM EDT
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) 9/25/2018 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
