(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2016 9:43 AM EDT For older generations, The Peanuts cartoon is a classic comic that fills us with a sense of nostalgia as soon as we see those lovable faces. Based on those memories, the idea of putting together a full length film probably seemed like a good one. Tapping into the past with a built in audience while allowing adults to introduce their chi... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/10/2016 4:49 PM EDT Anyone who would say 10 Cloverfield Lane is a sequel to 2008's Cloverfield would be wrong. It's more like the long distance cousin…they share a few similarities, but are very different on almost every level. Gone is the shaky, "home video" footage used in the first movie. No more guessing who the enemy is ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/8/2016 5:09 PM EDT Most people have heard the story of Moby Dick by Herman Melville, but most people have NOT heard the back story behind the creation of this American classic. In the Heart of the Sea, starring Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Benjamin Walker (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), and Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins), as well as being directed b... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/3/2016 9:26 PM EDT Known for their cute, fun animated feature films, Disney takes a drastic turn with their new release, Zootopia. Usually shying away from controversial topics, this time they delve in head on to one of the most stressful topics plaguing our country right now - racial tension. Along with other moral messages, the film artfully navig... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/3/2016 2:55 PM EDT For those who loved 2013's Olympus Has Fallen, this year's sequel, London Has Fallen, will surely live up to expectations. Many of the original cast has returned to make this action adventure film familiar on so many levels and enticing to fans of the original. However, with a new director (Babak Najafi; Banshee Origins) on board, there are e... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/1/2016 4:29 PM EDT "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 |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/25/2016 6:30 PM EDT In 22 years, Director Alex Proyas (The Crow) has made 6 major motion pictures. Some have become cult classics, while others were less than memorable. Regardless, one can usually discern a Proyas film, as his directing style is somewhat unique and his latest creation, Gods of Egypt, is no exception. With sweeping visuals, reminiscent of ...

(Nathan M Rose) 2/23/2016 11:13 AM EDT The Good Dinosaur explores what life would be like if the big meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs, never made impact with Earth. What would it have been like if they were still around today and the roles were reversed, with humans being the "animals"?Arlo (Raymond Ochoa; A Christmas Carol) is one of three sibling dinosaurs. ...

(Nathan M Rose) 2/16/2016 8:17 PM EDT John Gotti, Al Capone, Whitey Bolger... all notorious mobsters who left their mark.James "Whitey" Bolger (Johnny Depp; Pirates of the Caribbean) may have been a criminal, but he also reached a certain of level of genius. How else do you manage to outwit the FBI when you are right under their noses? Black Mass fr... Read More |
(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 |
