(Jennifer Broderick) 10/21/2016 2:44 PM EDT My, how Zac Efron (High School Musical) has grown up! In the first installment of this franchise, Teddy, played by Zac Efron, was a fraternity boy out to get his "adult" neighbors, Mac (Seth Rogan; Superbad ) and Kelly (Rose Byrne; Damages). In this second installment, he goes back to the fraternity house, now a sorority... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/21/2016 11:56 AM EDT I remember when we first got cable TV in my house and HBO was THE movie channel (yes I know, I'm dating myself). Then, HBO started creating original series and have been doing a great job of it for over 15 years (Game of Thrones, anyone?). Now, they are creating a block of what I would describe as mini-series - first with American Crime Story... Read More |
(Judith Raymer) 10/21/2016 8:21 AM EDT Ah, those memories of culinary ecstasy on our palates. The yearn to taste that unparalleled delight just once more leading to the declaration that one would die or kill for the opportunity; even better...for the recipe. The Pickle Recipe was born from just such a recollection. Writers/Producers Gary Wolfson and Sheldon Cohn were t... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 10/20/2016 1:54 PM EDT "Reach for the stars" is a common idiom encouraging everyone to try their best, and with this second installment of Jack Reacher's adventures, Director Edward Zwick tried his very best to reach as high as he could- and I think it paid off. Based on the 18th book in author Lee Child's series, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back follo... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/20/2016 1:24 PM EDT Phillip Roth's (The Human Stain) Pulitzer Prize winning novel American Pastoral is a commentary of 1960's America and the "All-American" white middle class family. With gripping insight, turmoil, despair, and, ironically, a misguided sense of hope, it chronicles the rise and fall of the not so charmed life of the Levovs and how the ... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 10/18/2016 12:17 PM EDT There are just some movies that suck you into the fantasy world they create, and by that I mean, you become so immersed in the scenery, the language, the imagery, and the costumes, that after the movie is done, you look around and wonder why real life looks so plain. Alice Through the Looking Glass is such a movie. Following the origina... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/18/2016 10:35 AM EDT Admittedly, I haven't seen that many Woody Allen films in my life but, when I do, three things are certain: 1) the film will always be a little bit on the "quirky" side, 2) it will probably be an entertaining film that is highly stylized and 3) it will involve numerous big name Hollywood stars. Café Society, his latest wo... Read More |
(Jennifer Broderick) 10/17/2016 2:42 PM EDT It's what we've all been waiting for all these years. I mean, the franchise films all start out with it and end with it. We've seen shorts of it. The anticipation has been almost crippling. The public has demanded it and 20th Century Fox has delivered. Yes, Scrat and his acorn are back. ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/14/2016 8:55 PM EDT The majority of male bonding movies are typically raunchy, rowdy and depict a group of overgrown children drinking, taking drugs and having lots of sex while on some wild adventure (i.e. trip/vacation). A perfect example would be 2009's The Hangover. Based on that film, and its subsequent sequels, it would seem hard partying to the poin... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 10/14/2016 8:32 PM EDT You Can Check In… But You Wont Check Out!Last week, FX released the Blu-ray box set of American Horror Story: Hotel. Those who watch the series regularly know that each season starts with a new theme and generally uses the same cast for new characters in the new season. The big difference in Season Five is the loss of Jessica Lang, who ... Read More |
