(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 |
 
(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 |
 
(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...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/28/2016 1:58 PM EDT Disney's The Finest Hours dramatizes the events of one of the most harrowing Coast Guard rescue missions off the Massachusetts coast in 1952. Still regarded as one the most heroic and successful rescues in Coast Guard history, the events of February 18 inspired both book and now the film, which opens in theaters on January 29th. Based on a tr... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/26/2016 8:58 PM EDT Pandas may look all cute and cuddly, especially when they are frolicking in 3 feet of snow, but they can also be vicious and intense. However, when you are combining those qualities with DreamWorks Animation, you know instinctively that you are in for much more of the former. In anticipation of the theatrical release of ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/22/2016 5:05 PM EDT It's hard to believe it's been ten years since The Devil Wears Prada hit theaters and became a guidebook of fashion for women everywhere. Based on the best selling book by Lauren Weisberger, the movie of the same name shines a spotlight on the world of fashion, and unbearable bosses, while showcasing the plight of a working girl in Ne...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/19/2016 11:05 AM EDT For some, Mount Everest is the pinnacle (pun intended) of extreme outdoorsmanship. The highest peak in the world, hundreds of people gather at its base each year in an attempt to reach the top, over 29,000 feet above sea level. Along the way, any number of things can go wrong resulting in fatalities. The 2015 movie, Everest,... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/19/2016 9:53 AM EDT Being a teenager, especially a girl, is no easy task. Hormones and emotions run high and everything in your life is exaggerated. Being a fifteen-year-old girl in 1976 during a time of free expression, and drugs and alcohol readily available, makes that task even more challenging. Add into that scenario your first sexual encounter,... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 1/19/2016 8:40 AM EDT Retirement - the goal of most working class citizens of the world. But once the excitement and novelty of having your life to yourself 24 hours a day is over, what do you do? What would society let you do? Are you still relevant in today's workforce? Can today's generation learn from the elderly? These questions, and more, are th... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 1/15/2016 9:11 AM EDT In 2014, Ice Cube (Boyz in the Hood) and Kevin Hart (Get Hard) teamed up for the hilarious comedy Ride Along. Now they are back for round two and the laughs are as abundant as ever. In Ride Along 2, the soon to be brothers-in-law once again find themselves caught up in a web of illegal activity while trying to solve a crime.Ben Barber (... Read More |
