(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/19/2016 9:53 AM EDT
Being a teenager, especially a girl, is no easy task. Hormones and emotions run high and everything in your life is exaggerated. Being a fifteen-year-old girl in 1976 during a time of free expression, and drugs and alcohol readily available, makes that task even more challenging. Add into that scenario your first sexual encounter,... Read More

Making movies is a difficult process - from budgeting to casting, writing the screenplay, as well as scoring and special effects.

The Transporter: Refueled

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/6/2016 9:40 AM EDT
The Transporter, starring Jason Statham (The Expendables), was a trilogy in the early 2000's that all but put Statham on the acting map, proving he could carry a film as a leading man. As Frank Martin, he was the perfect combination of calm, cool and collected, with an element of "thug" underneath. The first film in the series... Read More
