(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/10/2015 11:28 AM EDT Like some of M. Night Shyamalan's other movies, The Visit ends with a twist you didn't see coming. I expected the typical poltergeist infestation or supernatural explanation for the characters' behavior, but what I ultimately got was much darker and more realistic. It almost makes you wonder what sort of demonic dialogue goes on inside ... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/03/2015 1:58 PM EDT The Vampire Diaries Season 6 maybe the saddest and bloodiest one so far. From other worldly prisons, to a new witch/vampire hybrid, the supernatural dimension went into overdrive this year.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/31/2015 4:16 PM EDT When Mad Max: Fury Road came out in theaters this past summer, it got rave reviews from critics and audiences. It also became a social commentary for a pro women agenda. It led to numerous discussions, which I'm sure almost any major film wants. I'm just not sure it deserved some of the hype it received.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/26/2015 4:07 PM EDT Zac Efron (Neighbors) seems to gravitate towards movies that incorporate music. From singing and dancing in his earlier roles, to his latest film We Are Your Friends, Efron has a connection that will most likely follow him and pop up from time to time throughout his career. As Cole Carter, a DJ trying to make it in the LA scen... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/20/2015 4:35 PM EDT Take Clerks, Mission: Impossible, and Point of No Return and mix them all together in a bowl. Dump the mix into rolling papers and you've made yourself a movie called American Ultra. Coming to theaters August 21, 2015, it is a mish-mosh of other good films trying to be played off as an original idea, but not succeedi... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 08/20/2015 4:08 PM EDT Creating a film based on a video game property is a tough sell to audiences. In fact, there have been very few films that financially have accomplished this. Now, this August, 20th Century Fox tries yet again to translate the video game franchise Hitman to the silver screen with Hitman: Agent 47.If you aren't familiar with the Hitman property or Ag...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 08/14/2015 10:01 AM EDT 2 Broke Girls: The Complete Fourth Season is out now on DVD. Why should you spend your well-earned dollars buying it? Simply put, it's fun, albeit sophomoric, humor. Plus, it's always nice to see people with less money than you have.For those who have never seen the show, it centers on Max Black (Kat Dennings, Th...
