Magic Mike XXL

(Bonnie Greenberg) 10/06/2015 3:18 PM EDT
After being a fan of the original Magic Mike movie, I couldn't imagine where they would go with the story line for Magic Mike XXL. I'm a huge fan of Channing Tatum and I think he's an amazing actor (It doesn't hurt that he is totally gorgeous and a rockin' dancer). This movie did have a slow start for me, but got be...

Jane the Virgin: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/05/2015 10:15 AM EDT
I wanted to give Jane the Virgin points for originality, until I found out it was based on a Telanovela called Juana La Virgen. As interesting and unique as the premise is, in a world full of superheroes and zombies, I just couldn't help but find it to be a little dumb. Garnering critical acclaim and a Golden Globe for the show'... Read More

Avengers: Age of Ultron

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/02/2015 11:19 AM EDT
While anyone who is a huge fan of the Marvel franchise would want to own Avengers: Age of Ultron, I'm not sure "regular folks" would be as interested. The sequel to the 2012 blockbuster certainly made a great deal of money (just like its predecessor), but lacked the meatier storyline. Coming to Blu-Ray and Digital HD the begin... Read More

The Martian

(Paul Kates) 10/01/2015 1:59 PM EDT
Ridley Scott once again dips his paws in to the science fiction genre with The Martian, based on Andy Weir's 2011 novel of the same name, and stars Matt Damon as Mark Watney, a NASA botanist based on a scientific research base on the surface of the red planet.The crew of ARES 3 are forced to make a sudden emergency evacuation from Mars when a storm...

Sicario

(Nathan M Rose) 10/01/2015 10:10 AM EDT
In Mexico, Sicario Means Hitman.Ripped directly from today's headlines comes Sicario, a film about the brutal war against drugs and the Mexican cartels, directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Untitled Blade Runner Project).FBI Agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt; The Edge of Tomorrow, Looper) is very good at her job on the FBI kidnapping task forc...

Modern Family: The Complete Sixth Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/29/2015 1:31 PM EDT
Has the reign of Modern Family ended? Is the fairy tale over? For five years, the show has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, but ,this year, they were upset by a different show. So the question remains… Has Modern Family lost its edge?As Season 7 is just beginning, I was able to take a look back at the fatef... Read More

Cop Car

(Nathan M Rose) 09/29/2015 10:46 AM EDT
Director Kevin Smith once said that the golden age of independent films has left us, and what we are left with is just big studio films created by a committee. Most days, I hold to these truths. However, once in a while, a film comes along that throws caution to the wind and surprises you.Cop Car, written and directed by Jon Watts (director of the ... Read More

Entourage

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 09/28/2015 11:38 AM EDT
I'm not sure why studios think it's a good idea to take every successful TV show and make it into a feature film. I understand they feel it will be an easy moneymaker with a "built in audience", but too many times they come into it with a half-cocked script that doesn't do the show justice. While Entourage: The Movi... Read More
