Steve Jobs

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/15/2016 5:08 PM EST
To some, Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender; X-Men: First Class) was brilliant. To others, he was an over-inflated ego, and, to a select few, he was the closest to God they think they will ever get. Whatever he was, there is no denying he was a visionary and most probably brilliant. While there have been a few movies and books a... Read More

Spectre

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/10/2016 3:44 PM EST
James Bond is one of the most iconic and enduring characters in cinematic history. Fans of Albert Broccoli's creation anticipate a new release and are anxious to own each film in the catalog when they become available for home theater. The twenty-fourth film in the franchise hits stores today, and it will, no doubt, be as popular ... Read More

Bridge of Spies

(Nathan M Rose) 2/2/2016 4:29 PM EST
After the end of the second World War, the world looked like a different place than it does today. Germany was no longer a whole country, it was divided into East and West. The United States and Russia were at the height of their spy game with agents on the ground in both countries trying to get the upper hand in case a nuclear war broke out. It is... Read More

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Blu-ray Review

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs Signature Edition

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/1/2016 11:08 PM EST
Dubbed "Disney's Folly", Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs was predicted to be a major flop before its release on December 21, 1937. Skeptics argued that nobody wanted to sit through a feature length animated movie but Walt Disney spent two years making the film and betting the naysayers were wrong. As it turn... Read More

Our Brand Is Crisis

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/1/2016 4:27 PM EST
I hate politics. It's all a big smoke screen with lies, manipulation and "perceptions". In a 2005 documentary called "Our Brand Is Crisis", they explore these themes while showing the devastating results of a country in unrest with an out of touch ruler. In the feature film of th... Read More

Kung Fu Panda 1 / Kung Fu Panda 2 Ultimate Edition of Awesomeness

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/26/2016 8:58 PM EST
Pandas may look all cute and cuddly, especially when they are frolicking in 3 feet of snow, but they can also be vicious and intense. However, when you are combining those qualities with DreamWorks Animation, you know instinctively that you are in for much more of the former. In anticipation of the theatrical release of ...

The Devil Wears Prada

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/22/2016 5:05 PM EST
It's hard to believe it's been ten years since The Devil Wears Prada hit theaters and became a guidebook of fashion for women everywhere. Based on the best selling book by Lauren Weisberger, the movie of the same name shines a spotlight on the world of fashion, and unbearable bosses, while showcasing the plight of a working girl in Ne...

Everest

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/19/2016 11:05 AM EST
For some, Mount Everest is the pinnacle (pun intended) of extreme outdoorsmanship. The highest peak in the world, hundreds of people gather at its base each year in an attempt to reach the top, over 29,000 feet above sea level. Along the way, any number of things can go wrong resulting in fatalities. The 2015 movie, Everest,... Read More

The Diary of a Teenage Girl

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/19/2016 9:53 AM EST
Being a teenager, especially a girl, is no easy task. Hormones and emotions run high and everything in your life is exaggerated. Being a fifteen-year-old girl in 1976 during a time of free expression, and drugs and alcohol readily available, makes that task even more challenging. Add into that scenario your first sexual encounter,... Read More
