Krampus

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/26/2016 4:14 PM EDT
When you think of holiday horror movies, you don't often think of Christmas. However, if you've ever heard the Austrian Folklore about a horned, half goat-half demon creature that punishes children who misbehave and don't believe in Saint Nicholas anymore, then you realize the story lends itself to a creepy, horror tale. Universal Studi... Read More

Ride Along 2

(Nathan M Rose) 04/26/2016 9:00 AM EDT
Back in January 2014, a quirky little comedy called Ride Along, starring Ice Cube (22 Jump Street, Barbershop: The Next Cut ) and Kevin Hart (Get Hard, Central Intelligence ), came out of nowhere and quickly became box-office gold. The story was simple — a hardened Atlanta detective James Payton (Cube), is not too happy wi... Read More

The Huntsman: Winter's War

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/21/2016 1:32 PM EDT
Quick question… if The Huntsman: Winter's War was never made, would we really be missing anything? The short answer is probably not. While there were some good things about the film, there were far more negatives than positives, starting with the question "why?"The prequel/sequel gives us the back-story of who the hunts...

Criminial

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/14/2016 2:57 PM EDT
If you look up the word criminal in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, you will find an adjective meaning "involving illegal activity: morally wrong". From this, one would ascertain a movie with the word as its title would involve either of the above mentioned descriptions, which it does. However, it's difficult to figure out whi... Read More

Archer: The Complete Season Six

(Nathan M Rose) 04/11/2016 2:25 PM EDT
Six years ago, a little known show named Archer was showcased during San Diego Comic Con, and the rest, shall we say, is history. This zany, crazy, adult-themed comedy follows the adventures of Sterling Archer, an independent contractor, and his operatives.After a detour last year with Archer Vice, the writing team seems to be back on track, this t...

The Boss

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 04/07/2016 10:57 AM EDT
For me, Melissa McCarthy is hit or miss. Sometimes I like her stuff; other times I don't. Mike and Molly was funny enough. Bridesmaids was hysterical and her character was great. Spy was another example of a fun and entertaining McCarthy movie. However, The Heat and Tammy were both awful and torturous to sit through. S... Read More

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 Blu-ray Review

The Hunger Games: Complete 4 Film Collection

(Nathan M Rose) 03/30/2016 8:40 AM EDT
With the home release of Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, the circle is complete and the film series based on the novels by Suzanne Collins is over. While Lionsgate turns it's sights to try to start up other franchises in it's wake, it also has released the four- film series in a box set for the fans.For those uninformed, The Hun... Read More

Point Break

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 03/29/2016 10:03 AM EDT
In 1991, a movie called Point Break hit theaters and starred Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing) and Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon). It was a surfer's/stoner's dream and has a cult-like following. In 2015, someone at Warner Brothers Entertainment thought it would be a good idea to remake the film but using all ex... Read More

The Hateful Eight

(Sean Ferguson) 03/28/2016 4:06 PM EDT
"What would make a man brave a blizzard, and kill in cold blood, I'm sure I don't know. You'd be surprised what a man would do."But with Tarantino at the helm, you know people are gonna die!The Hateful Eight, ironically Quentin Tarantino's eighth major motion picture, is out now on Blu-ray and DVD. If you missed your ... Read More

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens

(Eric English) 03/28/2016 1:02 PM EDT
Few spectacles of screen transcend generations with as much cultural reverberations as Star Wars. To revel in its current incarnation is to return to its roots as an experimental space opera, crafted in the mind of a man who would come to be both revered and despised for following his calling.Spanning the gamut of nearly four decades from the belov...
