North by Northwest

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/4/2017 9:34 AM EST
Alfred Hitchcock was a master of directing. His films, like the man, are legendary. He could evoke emotion with one subtle take and a testament to his brilliance is how his films have stood the test of time. Fathom Events recognizes his genius and brought his classic thriller North by Northwest back to theaters for a one-week event.A... Read More

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

(Eric English) 4/3/2017 1:01 PM EST
"Incredible"..."Triumphant"..."Out Of This World".... A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away, as movie goers lined up to witness the spectacle of "some new sci-fi flick", these exclamations could be overheard as those now initiated emerged wide-eyed from the theater.A relatively unknown director in an unch...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

(Jennifer Broderick) 4/3/2017 11:07 AM EST
Warner Bros. is turning out to be what I would consider one of the smartest studios around. Not only did they work with J.K. Rowling to provide one of the world's most popular movie franchises to people of all ages, but they have made the best business decision to bring the Harry Potter movies to 4K UHD. Harry Potter and The De... Read More

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

(Jennifer Broderick) 4/3/2017 9:07 AM EST
Warner Bros. has been amazing moviegoers over the last few years with their movie content, storylines, and choice of cast. In the last year, they have also shown incredible foresight into bringing some of their prior blockbuster releases into the new digital technology. The Harry Potter franchise has enthralled kids and adults... Read More

The Boss Baby

(Judith Raymer) 3/30/2017 10:59 AM EST
"Kind of disjointed," whispered one correspondent. "Distracting…," murmured another. Yet, they all boisterously agreed loudly that they found themselves laughing...increasingly. "It was very funny," many, if not all, declared. Wherever the disconnect might be, this film is truly funny, inventiv... Read More

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

(Jennifer Broderick) 3/28/2017 9:58 AM EST
For all the Harry Potter fans out there, J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. has rewarded us with a "prequel" to the beloved magical series (rumored to be the first of possibly five- yes, five!) that creates its own story without losing the Harry Potter vibe that is central to the stories. Magic,&nb... Read More

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 9:58 PM EST
J.K Rowling wrote seven books in the Harry Potter series but the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was so large and full of details that it was broken into two movies. I'm sure Warner Bros. also saw it as a chance to prolong the inevitable end of the series and an opportunity to make more money. In all... Read More

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 9:18 PM EST
It is hard to believe that it has been almost 20 years since the first book in the Harry Potter series was published and 16 years since the first film was released. Both the books and the movies garnered boundless success and have now spawned a second generation of fans. As newer technology advances the audience'... Read More

20th Century Women

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 1:00 PM EST
When I heard about 20th Century Women, I was intrigued. People said it was funny and it got very strong reviews. It had a great cast, so I added it to my "must watch" list but took my time to see it. Now that it is coming to Blu-ray, it's time to revisit the film and write down my thoughts. Inter... Read More

The Smurfs

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/27/2017 11:40 AM EST
In 1958, illustrator Peyo (Pierre Culliford), brought The Smurfs comics to Belgium. It's popularity quickly spread throughout Europe and eventually became an animated show on American Television. I can remember Saturday mornings in the 1980's in front of the television watching those little blue creature... Read More
