(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/10/2016 11:45 AM EDT Your average alien movie is usually an action packed, blow ‘em up, sci-fi thriller. Spaceships show up and kill millions of people, forcing humanity to work together to save the human race. Rarely does Hollywood divert from this formula because these movies often become blockbusters. However, Arrival is not your average alien movie.Dr. ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/8/2016 2:00 PM EDT The Suzanne Collins young adult book series The Hunger Games was enjoyed by teenagers and adults alike and became bestsellers. They spawned four blockbuster movies (the last book was broken into two films) and solidified Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: First Class) as an A list Hollywood actress. They brought to ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/3/2016 2:53 PM EDT Take some cute, colorful characters, mean monsters, a story with a moral and some fun songs and what do you get? In general, any number of animated films but in this case specifically…Trolls. DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox's latest animated feature hits theaters November 4, 2016, and it promises to be an ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/3/2016 11:11 AM EDT The Marvel universe seems to be never ending. With a plethora of comic book heroes and villains to draw from, they manage to crank out a movie every three to six months it seems. Each time the hype and excitement around the movie is immense, whether or not it is warranted. This month's hero of choice is Doctor Strange (Benedic... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/1/2016 10:26 AM EDT When Ballers first appeared on HBO in 2015, it was pretty close to what I was expecting. Football, loose women, money, and fast cars permeated every episode (well, I hope the football part would since the show is called Ballers). However, it also included a plot worthy of taking notice. Season One was a solid effort and kept audie... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/31/2016 7:57 PM EDT When Bridesmaids hit theaters in 2011 it created a whole new level of female comedies. It was racier and raunchier and had audiences laughing hysterically. It opened the door to more crass and vulgar movies starring female leads in order to give male actors a run for their money. This summer, Bad Moms riva... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/27/2016 11:02 AM EDT If you like solving puzzles, you should read every one of Dan Brown's novels. He combines cyphers with history and architectural beauty. He has made Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks; Sully) everyone's favorite teacher and sent us racing all over the world unravelling conspiracies. His 2013 novel,&nbs... Read More |
 
(Jennifer Broderick) 10/27/2016 8:57 AM EDT Imagine that the high school Principal (Bill Murray; Groundhog Day) leaves his job unexpectedly without any replacement being named. Also, imagine, the two Vice Principals (Danny McBride; This is the End and Walter Goggins; American Ultra) of the same school are arch enemies and desperate enough to the point that they would do anything to ens...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/25/2016 11:34 AM EDT Anyone would be lucky to have a Mr. Church in their lives and for Susan McMartin (Mom) it was reality. Based on her true story, Mr. Church was the only father figure McMartin had ever known and became more than just an employee to her. To her, he was family. The movie that unfortunately didn't fair very well at the box office ... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 10/25/2016 10:26 AM EDT In 1996, Independence Day became the biggest movie of the summer. An alien invasion meant certain annihilation for the entire world. Will Smith's (Ali) character was the cocky fighter pilot who saved us all and cemented his career as a bona fide movie star. Bill Pullman's (American Ultra) presidential s... Read More |
