(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/5/2016 11:31 AM EDT 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 memoir, The... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 6/30/2016 5:01 PM EDT 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 |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2016 9:42 AM EDT The story of Tarzan has been told in many different ways over 100 years. From live action films and television shows to books and animated features, we seem to be fascinated with the idea of a man raised among animals. The story appeals to various facets of the population and we always seem to be drawn into the animalistic male who... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/30/2016 8:39 AM EDT Some would argue that author Roald Dahl was a deeply disturbed individual. Others would argue he was a brilliant writer. Some would say he was both. As the author of many children's and adult books, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach, he cemented a place in literary hist... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 6/27/2016 12:16 PM EDT 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 ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/26/2016 5:49 PM EDT 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2016 11:42 AM EDT 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 |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/21/2016 10:50 AM EDT 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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/16/2016 10:39 AM EDT In 2003, a little fish named Nemo (Hayden Rolence; Cicero in Winter) mesmerized the world. With his bad fin, overbearing father and adventurous spirit, he captivated us into wishing him home. Along for that journey was his father, Marlin (Albert Brooks; Broadcast News) and a forgetful fish named Dory (Ellen DeGe... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/15/2016 9:51 AM EDT 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 |
