War Dogs

If you look up the definition of a war dog in the Urban Dictionary, you find, "A political and/or military person who's immorally eager to encourage a people or nation to go to war." For arms dealers, this is exactly what they are hoping for and when President Bush went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, they couldn't wait to s... Read More

Imagine, that one day, your mom tells you that you're not being sent off to summer camp, but instead, being sent in a pod to cross the galaxy to protect your younger cousin. Sounds like the worst babysitting job ever, huh? It gets worse… your pod gets shoved off course by the planets explosion (as it kills your parents and everyone you know)... Read More

11.22.63

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 8/16/2016 11:11 AM EST
Stephen King has been one of our most prolific writers of the last 30 years. He also has a knack for thinking outside the box, making us think in new and interesting ways and scaring the pants off us all at the same time. His novel 11.22.63 definitely does the first two and a small portion of the third.Since so much of his writing i... Read More

Sausage Party

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/12/2016 8:54 AM EST
Take some animated supermarket food, throw in some catchy tunes, and stir with a bunch of celebrity voices… what could be bad, right? Oh my lord! You are not prepared for what this delicious recipe concocts. Bawdy, immature, outrageous, over the top, raunchy humor and antics ensue and are sure to offend almost everyone in s... Read More

Pete's Dragon

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/11/2016 4:38 PM EST
In 1977, Walt Disney Productions made a live action/animated film called Pete's Dragon. It was fun and kid friendly, with happy songs and a colorful dragon named Elliot. While it had some somber moments, the majority of the film was uplifting and inspiring. Almost 40 years later, Disney has reimagined the classic film in a way... Read More

Batman: The Killing Joke

(Sean Ferguson) 8/9/2016 2:33 PM EST
The Joke Is Killed by Hype & Expectations It's the death of so many movies and the one thing most project can never live up to. It's so frustrating because fans see the teasers, hear all about the dedication of bringing out the best in the project and the "early word on the street" is that it's the best ever made. By the ti... Read More

The world of comic books has invaded the movie theaters and has all but taken over. The biggest blockbusters in the past few years have all included men in capes with super human abilities. It was only natural that when DC comics and Warner Bros. announced they were making a movie from Suicide Squad that the speculation and hype surroun... Read More
