(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/17/2018 10:11 AM EDT Semper Fidelis – Always Loyal… That is the motto of the United States Marine Corps. Unless you have served as a Marine, you cannot really understand what that means. Up until now, our perception of what being a marine is like is what we have seen in the media. Movies like Full Metal Jacket and Born on The 4th of July ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 2:58 PM EDT Imagine what Earth would be like in a post-apocalyptic world. What if nuclear explosions hit multiple continents in a span of 60 minutes? What would be left? How would the world rebuild? What would that look like? Would it disintegrate into a dystopian society? Mortal Engines, the new film based on the Phillip Re... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/12/2018 10:55 AM EDT This month the comic book world was dealt a heavy blow when we lost a legend, the "Godfather of Superheroes", Mr. Stan Lee. He created so many incredible characters that have endeared and changed over time. I can think of no more fitting tribute to his legacy than Marvel Studios' latest animated feature, Spider-Man: Into the S... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/11/2018 10:30 AM EDT It is a well-known fact in Hollywood that Denzel Washington (Fences) never reprises a role or makes a sequel to any of his films so it was a big surprise when it was announced he would be returning as Robert McCall for the second installment of The Equalizer. The beloved, yet quirky, character from the 2014 movie was destined to be back as th... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/6/2018 9:57 AM EDT Being royalty is never an easy lot in life but more so when you are a queen in the sixteenth century. It's even more difficult when everyone is out to steal your throne, including a neighboring queen during an incredibly tumultuous time in your own country. Mary, Queen of Scots, is that noblewoman. Having become queen at a mer... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/5/2018 11:41 AM EDT In the 1980s panic gripped the United States as the HIV and AIDS epidemic reached epic proportions, killing a large part of the gay male population. For over two decades afterward discrimination against those infected with the disease played a prevalent part in the dialogue of the Country. In 1993 the first major feature film showcased ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/3/2018 10:07 PM EDT In 1966 a new television show debuted on CBS called Mission: Impossible. It aired for seven seasons and had a revival for two more seasons on ABC beginning in 1988. Then in 1996, Tom Cruise (Risky Business) brought the concept to the big screen in a film adaptation of the show. Over the next twenty-two years he has played Ethan Hu... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/30/2018 10:59 AM EDT Are you a pet lover? More specifically, do you love those cute, furry friends that bark in excitement every time you walk in the door? If the answer to these questions is yes then you will want to watch Dog Days over and over again. With some of the cutest faces assembled the movie is one long awwwww interspersed with some sweet and loving an... Read More |
