(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/4/2019 9:43 AM EDT In 1976 Rocky was released in theaters and made a household name of Sylvester Stallone (First Blood). It spawned five sequels and has become one of the most iconic boxing movies of all time. It also gave us one of the most recognizable soundtracks in movie history. In 2015, after a nine-year hiatus, audiences were treated to the n... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 2/25/2019 9:10 PM EDT Back in 2012 production started on a little film called Wreck-It Ralph. There was small fanfare at that year's San Diego Comic Con, but not much. All the press really knew is it would be "Roger Rabbit" like but instead of cartoons it would be featuring video game characters and settings that everyone grew up loving. The film, which debute...

(Alyn Darnay) 2/24/2019 5:18 PM EDT Why does it seem that every producer out there now wants to make an English Period Piece? I guess it's because of the success of the TV series The Crown and others like it. There's nothing wrong with that, there are certainly enough people out there interested in seeing a good period piece.However, in order to be a ‘good' period piece, t... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/24/2019 11:16 AM EDT "Look at this Stuff. Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?"…With these now iconic words, Disney animation experienced a resurgence in their films. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Disney films weren't as popular as they had been in the past but that all changed in 1989 with the release of The Little Mermai... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/19/2019 12:03 PM EDT Overlord, which hails from producer JJ Abrams, is not your typical World War II film. While at first, when the film opens up to a scene we have seen many times before - soldiers on a plane waiting to jump to their targets - the story seems normal, however, once the soldiers hit the ground, we quickly learn that this is no routine mission.Led by Ser...

(Nathan M Rose) 2/19/2019 9:16 AM EDT Robin Hood. The name invokes different images and different stories depending on who you ask. Either it's the Earl Flynn Robin Hood, the Disney cartoon, the comedy spoof by Mel Brook, The 1991 Kevin Coster melodrama with the best portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham ever, or the 2010 Russel Crowe take on the classic tale. Then in 2018, to help br... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 2/18/2019 4:54 PM EDT When a project lingers in development too long, its ultimate demise seems inevitable. Along the way, a veritable who's who of directors and leading players are often attached and this was the case of the latest version of "A Star Is Born." Ultimately, Bradley Cooper (American Hustle; Hangover; Alias) was ready to make hi... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/18/2019 3:20 PM EDT Melissa McCarthy is known for her comedic roles in films. While having played smaller parts she really stood out as Megan in 2011's Bridesmaids. Since then she has made audiences laugh in hits such as This is 40, Spy and Life of the Party. This past year she took on a more dramatic role-playing real-life writer Lee Israel in Fox Searchl...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/15/2019 10:31 AM EDT There was a time in this country when westerns were common fare at cinemas everywhere. However, since before the 1970s interest has waned and it isn't often we get a good old fashioned Western on the big screen. In 2018 writer/director Jacques Audiard (Rust and Bone) brought his version to theaters with The Sisters Brothers starring... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/12/2019 1:14 PM EDT Who wants to live forever? The line from the classic Queen song was written by a man who knew he was going to die and was made all the more poignant after his passing. Well, we can't live forever but some people will live on in legend and legacy. Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara) is certainly one of those people and 27 ye... Read More |
