Eddie the Eagle

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/11/2016 8:03 PM EST
It's a bird, it's a plane, It's Super… oh, wait, no it's not. It's simply a British Ski Jumper who came in last at the 1988 Olympic games and stole the world's heart. Based on a true story, Eddie the Eagle teaches us to dream big, persevere, and to view life through "rose-colo... Read More

Kung Fu Panda 3

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/6/2016 11:27 AM EST
What could be better than an animated, Kung Fu fighting, Warrior Dragon Panda Bear? Tons of adorable, dumpling eating, noodle slurping, roly-poly baby pandas! DreamWorks animation has stepped up their cuteness factor for the third installment in the franchise, Kung Fu Panda 3 (Awesome Edition), out now on Blu-ray and DVD.Back are all th... Read More

Code of Honor

(Maureen Buccellato) 7/5/2016 4:32 PM EST
At one point in time Steven Seagal (Above The Law, Under Siege) was considered a true Hollywood bad-ass. Well, those days are long gone, but Seagal continues to make films that only his younger self could pull off.Code of Honor stars Seagal as Robert Sikes, a former special-ops operative, who, after his family is killed in a drive-by shooting...

The Adderall Diaries

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/5/2016 11:31 AM EST
Author Stephen Elliot had a pretty messed up childhood, which lead to varying degrees of abuse – both at the hands of his father and his own drug addiction. At least that's the way he'd like to remember it. The truth is probably something a little different. He chronicles his journey to the so-called truth in his mem... Read More

Eye in the Sky

(Nathan M Rose) 6/30/2016 5:01 PM EST
In today's day and age, war is a constant. We send our troops out to various countries around the world and have to ask ourselves if the damages are really worth it sometimes. With the advanced technology that now exists in the military, some argue there are less casualties, but, in some cases, the opposite could be true. Gavin Hood's... Read More

The X-Files Miniseries

(Nathan M Rose) 6/27/2016 12:16 PM EST
It has been over 23 years since the original X-Files debuted on Fox Television, laying the groundwork for most of the modern television that we still watch today. The series centered on FBI agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and his partner Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they tried to prove the existence of a government conspiracy on the highest ...

Shrek Anniversary Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/26/2016 5:49 PM EST
He's big, green, ugly and lives in a swamp. In 2001, we fell in love with him so much that we ended up with three sequels and a Broadway musical. He is forever engrained in a generation's mind, and now Dreamworks has decided to release the movie that started it all on Blu-ray as the anniversary edition of&n... Read More

Midnight Special

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2016 11:42 AM EST
What if all those cult religions that believe aliens are coming to save them were right? What if there was something else out there? What if some of them lived amongst us and we never even knew it? Midnight Special explores this idea, along with the thought that a little boy can be more than he seems and the government knows more ... Read More

The Other Side of the Door

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2016 10:50 AM EST
The horror genre has evolved from what it was back in the 1970s and '80s, with icon films like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. I'm not sure that evolution is for the better, because even though graphics and special effects have advanced, the plots, scares, and goriness haven't necessarily improved.... Read More

The Martian: Extended Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/15/2016 9:51 AM EST
Director Ridley Scott (Alien) is notorious for lengthy feature films. His movies tend to run over two hours and, originally, his latest feature, The Martian, was closer to three. The theatrical version was edited down to two hours and twenty four minutes and some felt even that was too long. Now Twentieth Century Fox Home En... Read More
