The Best of Me

(Michelle Koesten) 2/9/2015 12:02 PM EST
Based on a Nicolas Sparks novel, The Best Of Me is out on Blu-ray and DVD. Having not read any of his books, and only having seen a few of his movies, I didn't know what to expect. A friend did say she threw the book across the room at the end, so I was a little concerned about the ending. While I am a fan of two of its s... Read More

"Everything old is new again" and in this vain Disney has rereleased the animated classic 101 Dalmatians. This special Diamond Edition introduces the 1961 film to a whole new audience and is sure to delight anyone who watches it.

Before I Go To Sleep

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/29/2015 9:42 PM EST
How would you feel if you woke up every morning not remembering a thing from the previous ten years? Such is the plight of Christine Lucas (Nicole Kidman; Eyes Wide Shut, Batman Forever). Every evening she goes to sleep knowing bits and pieces of her life told her by her husband Ben (Colin Firth; The King's Speech, Kingsman: S... Read More

Archer: The Complete Season Five

(Nathan M Rose) 1/27/2015 8:23 AM EST
A couple of years ago 20th Century Fox launched a new satirical spy drama on their FX channel called Archer. The show caught on due to its tongue-in-cheek off-the-wall humor, it's distinctive style of animation, and the fact that adult audiences found the show good enough to wind down to after a days work. For four seasons Archer pre... Read More

A Walk Among the Tombstones

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/22/2015 8:32 PM EST
I'm always fascinated by what motivates people, especially serial killers, to do the depraved things they do. Unfortunately for me, "A Walk Among the Tombstones" doesn't delve that deeply into the Psyches of the duo killing and chopping up the women who are loved by drug dealers in NY. Instead it tells the story of Mat... Read More

Back in the 1970s, a doll named Annabelle was thought to be possessed by an evil spirit. After being exorcised by a priest, it was taken to the Warren Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut, where, to this day, it is locked up only seeing the light of day when a priest comes once a month to exorcise the evil that lies within the doll.It is this real-...

Gone Girl

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/19/2015 11:06 PM EST
Just when you think you've figured it all out, a new twist is added to the plot of Gone Girl, which once again leaves you paying close attention to see what happens next. Based on the book of the same name, author and screenwriter, Gillian Flynn takes the audience on a journey of lies, deception, and psychological cunning played... Read More

Get On Up

(Sean Ferguson) 1/15/2015 9:38 PM EST
I think the saddest thing for any critic watching a movie, is the moment he or she sees the potential of what could have been, as compared to what is playing out in front of them. This is what came to mind when I got to sit down and watch "Get On Up". The thing that killed me most was that I couldn't even put my finger on what exact... Read More

The Good Lie

(Maureen Buccellato) 12/23/2014 2:05 PM EST
"The Good Lie", starring Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde, Wild), is a story about four Sudanese refugee "siblings". Based on a true story, the movie depicts the atrocities of the Sudan war. It tells the story of the numerous people left displaced, along with tens of thousands of children who were orphaned, and livi... Read More
