(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/8/2016 10:17 AM EDT Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds; Green Lantern) is no super hero. In fact, he is probably the anti-super hero. He doesn't care about justice, unless it involves his own quest for revenge. He isn't interested in saving lives or bringing down the bad guys, again, unless it serves his purpose. He's funny, crass, sarcastic, sel... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/5/2016 9:03 AM EDT Never judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, never judge a movie by its trailer.Nicholas Sparks' latest feature film, The Choice, looked less than appealing based on the two minutes I saw online. The story held no interest for me and the main characters had no chemistry, or so it seemed. To be honest, I seriously thought abou... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 2/4/2016 3:19 PM EDT Hail, Caesar! is a movie with a laundry list of greats and one glaring not so great. Great Writers/Directors Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men), great actors from George Clooney (Up In the Air) and Josh Brolin (Men In Black 3) to Scarlett Johansson (Avengers) and Channing Tatum (Magic Mike XXL), and great set and costume design.&nbs...

(Nathan M Rose) 2/4/2016 9:04 AM EDT Author Seth Grahame-Smith's work came to the attention of modern movie-goers with the 2012 release Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, based upon his book of the same name. Now, in 2016, after a couple of years of being in production with several different directors and leading ladies, his New York Times bestselling novel Pride and Prejudice ... Read More |
 
(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...
