Urban Cowboy

In the late 1970's John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) was riding high in Hollywood. He was part of a successful television show, Welcome Back, Kotter, and proved he could handle leading man status as Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever and Danny in the film adaptation of the musical, Grease. In 1980, he decided to star in another movie called... Read More

The King of Staten Island

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/8/2020 12:01 PM EST
The name Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-old Virgin) has become synonymous with successful, comedic films in Hollywood. Pete Davidson (The Dirt) started his career in the comedy club scene and moved up to become a regular on Saturday Night Live.

Disney's Zombies 2

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/4/2020 2:33 PM EST
Disney Channel has a long history of creating wonderful movies made for television despite still being considered to be in its relative youth as a channel. Always evolving, they had great success with 2006's High School Musical and its two sequels followed by Camp Rock and its sequel and then Descendants and its sequel (Disney is big on seque...

Jaws

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/1/2020 6:05 PM EST
Forty-five years ago a twenty-six-year-old, up and coming director named Steven Spielberg (E.T.: The Extraterrestrial) took Peter Benchley's novel titled Jaws and made it into a major motion picture. Considered one of the greatest films of all time, it was the highest-grossing movie until the release of Star Wars two years later. A ... Read More

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/29/2020 11:49 AM EST
Almost thirty years ago, Midway games created Mortal Kombat, a Fantasy fighting game that paid homage to actor Jean-Claude Van Dam (Double Impact). Known for its high level of graphic violence, it not only became one of the highest-grossing gaming franchises of all time but also was the reason for the creation of the video game rating system,...

The High Note

(Alyn Darnay) 5/29/2020 8:37 AM EST
You rarely hear me fawning over a movie, but when I finally get the opportunity to review a really enjoyable film, well, it's just Great. "The High Note" is such a film. It hits all the right "Notes". It doesn't take itself too seriously, it isn't too heavy, or preachy, or over-wroth with emotion, it just slides right into that ... Read More

The Hunt

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/26/2020 11:46 PM EST
When I was in high school (and we won't discuss how long ago that actually was), I remember reading a short story in English class about someone who was invited to a private island by a wealthy gentleman. Once the stranger got there he realized he was being hunted by the owner. This year I was reminded of that story when I finally got t... Read More

In 1982 The Air Force Space Command was formed to oversee "space warfare" operations. Five months ago it was changed to an independent service, The United States Space Force, and charged with organizing, training, and equipping forces for space superiority and dominance, offensive and defensive space control, command satellite...

The High Note

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/25/2020 12:00 PM EST
The glamorous world of the Los Angeles music scene isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just ask all the celebrities' personal assistants. They run around ragged always trying to please their incredibly demanding employers. Meanwhile, they have dreams of their own. Let's face it… many of them live in the entertainment hub... Read More

Sonic The Hedgehog

(Maureen Buccellato) 5/19/2020 10:29 AM EST
Back in 1990, Sega decided to release their answer to Super Mario Brothers with a fast, little, blue hedgehog named Sonic. Of course, with all of the remakes and reboots coming out of Hollywood these days, it was only a matter of time before Sonic was brought to life in a live-action movie. Originally slated to be released in late 2019,... Read More
