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

Out this week on Bluray is Swiss Army Man, starring Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine, Looper) and Mr. Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliff. (A... Read More

The Purge: Election Year

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/4/2016 11:14 PM EST
In theory, The Purge was an interesting and unique premise. No conscience for one night. Everything is legal including murder. The most anyone can hope for is to survive 12 hours of madness and mayhem and for those causing it… to enjoy their freedom. While the concept was great the reception wasn't what the ... Read More
