(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/4/2019 3:43 PM EDT We all know the story behind Superman. As his home planet of Krypton was being destroyed, Kal-El's parents placed him in a rocket ship that crash-landed on earth and he was raised by the Kents. We've seen his story and his backstory portrayed on television and film numerous times over but what about his back, back story? W... Read More |
 
(Leonard Buccellato) 3/4/2019 11:58 AM EDT At the risk of pulling a Groundhogs Day review, Fear the Walking Dead Season Four bolts out of the gate and makes a fast run for the finish line. On March 5th, 2019 Morgan Jones (Lennie James) departs from his friends in The Walking Dead and meets up with the friends and family of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens). The gore is about to hit the fan:In Sea... Read More |
(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...
