"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." -- Rocky BalboaAside from boxing, the Rocky Balboa films have always been an analogy on life. Whether i... Read More

The Good Dinosaur explores what life would be like if the big meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs, never made impact with Earth.

The 33

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/16/2016 3:05 PM EDT
Mining is hard work and dangerous. In fact, on average, over 1000 miners die each year. When a cave in occurs, any survivors eventually die under the rock because companies find it hopeless and expensive to even try to rescue them. Luckily, in 2010, that wasn't the fate for 33 Chilean miners, as the world watched and hoped f... Read More

Steve Jobs

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/15/2016 5:08 PM EDT
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

James Bond is one of the most iconic and enduring characters in cinematic history.

Bridge of Spies

(Nathan M Rose) 2/2/2016 4:29 PM EDT
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 EDT
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 EDT
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
