Every winter holiday season there are a number of movies that come out so families can head to the theater and enjoy their break from work/school. There are action movies, blockbusters, and of course family-friendly fare that includes animated features.

Richard Jewell

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/17/2020 4:39 PM EDT
There is a problem in this country when someone is even vaguely accused of a crime. Law enforcement and the media seem to convict the suspected perpetrator, sometimes with little to no real evidence. The media also add fuel to the fire in the court of public opinion and so often people believe what they say without question. If yo... Read More

Bloodshot

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/12/2020 9:42 AM EDT
It seems if there is a comic book/graphic novel out in the world, then at some point we will see a big-screen adaptation. Marvel and DC Comics have had great success in the last ten years turning their superheroes and villains into major box office hits and now Valiant Comics is trying to duplicate the achievements of their counterparts with ...

The Ten Commandments

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/10/2020 4:25 PM EDT
Cecil B. DeMille is known as a founding father of American film and the most commercially successful producer-director in all of film history. He made seventy feature films both silent and with sound and he will never be forgotten. Some of his features are still shown today and probably his most famous is the 1956 version of The Ten Com...

A Quiet Place

We've all heard the sayings "silence is golden" or silence is a virtue" but in A Quiet Place, silence is lifesaving. Imagine not being able to make a sound at all…ever. If you do the consequences could be deadly. Imagine being a child living in constant fear or the parents of those children trying to keep the... Read More

Uncut Gems

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/9/2020 10:45 AM EDT
There are all kinds of people in this world… rich people, poor people, good people, religious people, selfish people, altruistic people, and downright douchebags. You know the type. The kind of person who uses anyone and everyone to get what they want and doesn't care who they step on along the way. Howard Ratner (Adam Sand... Read More

The Way Back

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/5/2020 4:08 PM EDT
Most people can recall a time in their young lives when someone older inspired them and/or believed in them. Perhaps it was a teacher or a coach or a tutor, etc. who helped them see the potential they had even when they couldn't. There have been numerous films over the years that have explored this theme and it is common to get at l... Read More

Emma

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/4/2020 10:05 AM EDT
Jane Austen published four novels in her short life and two more were published posthumously. The original four, Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Emma, have not only been part of school curriculums the world over but have been adapted for both television and theatrical release. The latter, Emma, even had a modern... Read More

Dark Waters

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/2/2020 3:44 PM EDT
DuPont, a multi-billion-dollar company, has been creating products to make our lives better for decades…or so we had been led to believe. Teflon, their non-stick coating that covers pans in homes all over the world, used to be manufactured with PFOA – C8, a chemical that has been shown to be harmful to all life. It is estim... Read More
