The Complete Fourteenth Season

(Maureen Buccellato) 12/19/2016 11:10 AM EDT
Seth MacFaralane's Family Guy has seen a monumental amount of success. This show, as a whole, is beyond clever and bordering on genius. Some may think that my use of that word is a bit much, but I disagree. The intelligent and funny scripts intertwined with hysterical cutaways are what truly makes this show stand out among other adult-oriented ... Read More

Hellraiser: The Scarlet Box Limited Edition Trilogy

(Leonard Buccellato) 12/19/2016 10:28 AM EDT
I'm not much of a gambling man but I'd take the safe bet and say that if you're reading this review, you're a Clive Barker/Hellraiser fan. I will even go further and venture a guess, you're either debating the purchase of the Scarlet Box or you have already taken the plunge and you want to see what our thoughts are on the ... Read More

Storks

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/19/2016 9:28 AM EDT
We all know that Storks deliver babies. I mean, come on, that's what our parents told us. And that's what we tell our children. But wait, we will all have some explaining to do, because in the Warner Bros. movie, Storks, they don't deliver babies – they deliver packages.Yes, you read it correctly. Pack... Read More

Scream Queens

(Sean Ferguson) 12/16/2016 10:28 AM EDT
If your holidays this year are so stressful your about to scream… why not binge watch Fox's first season of Scream Queens out on DVD!If you haven't heard of Scream Queens as of yet, it's a fun, campy, Comedy/Horror series that kinda feels like it plays off of the Scream series of movies that were released back in the end of ...

La La Land

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/15/2016 10:31 AM EDT
In the golden age of Hollywood movie studios, elaborate movie musicals were part of the culture. Stars like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers were household names and their dancing and singing abilities were well known. Gone are the days of stars singing and dancing into our hearts in big budget pictures but writer Director Da... Read More

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/13/2016 6:46 PM EDT
In the late 1970s, a trilogy of films captured hearts all over the world. Star Wars captivated us and spawned one of the most successful franchises ever. In the late 1990s, and early 2000s, the next three films were successful while being met with mixed reviews. Last year, the saga continued with Episode VII, Star Wars: The F... Read More

Collateral Beauty

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/13/2016 12:22 PM EDT
In David Frankel's (The Devil Wears Prada) new film, Collateral Beauty, the title is defined as "the profound connection to everything". The movie explores how we interact with people, space, etc. and what mark we leave on them. It makes us think, and wonder, and forces us to question our purpose in life and in our everyday acti...

Suicide Squad

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/13/2016 10:54 AM EDT
Supervillains, anti-heroes, or bad guys? As Shakespeare said, "That is the question". Okay, he wasn't referring to DC's Suicide Squad movie, but who's really checking? All we know is that Superman's dead, Batman's catching bad guys, Will Smith plays a very expensive hitman, and the Joker's got a girlfriend so crazy that ... Read More

Ben-Hur

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/12/2016 9:17 PM EDT
Ben-Hur – the title alone conjures up images of excellence in literature and filmmaking. In 1880, the novel was published with modest success originally but became more popular when it was recommended reading by Clergy. Then, in 1925, it was made into a silent film and also became successful. In 1959, it was once again reima... Read More

The Man in the High Castle Television Review

Man in the High Castle Season 2 Preview

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/12/2016 5:11 PM EDT
Travel back to the past in an alternate reality that is so horrifying that you can't take your eyes from the television screen. So many of the dystopian shows are based off recent and current novels, taking place at some unspecified futuristic time frame, mostly after World War Three, and aimed at the teenage population. ...
