The Huntsman: Winter's War

(Jennifer Broderick) 8/22/2016 10:45 AM EDT
The Huntsman: Winter's War began with controversy before filming even started. A change in stars, a change in directors, and no one knew what the movie would end up like considering one of the main characters, Snow White, was no longer a real part of the film. Wondering how the story line would reconcile itself starting out before... Read More

The Complete Second Season

(Sean Ferguson) 8/22/2016 10:19 AM EDT
FORGET BATMAN VS SUPERMAN!The Real DC Competition would be the battle of Gotham VS National City! If you're looking for more than just CGI effects in a 2 hour, depressing, "my mother's name is Martha too let's be friends" fest… then you need to be watching DC on TV, because the television DC Universe is HANDS DOWN beating the...

A quick recap for the rock valley dwellers out there...Ben-Hur is a cinematic soap opera spinning betrayal, prejudice and forgiveness; in which a prince, Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), is forced into slavery after his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell) falsely accuses him of treason.

War Dogs

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 8/17/2016 11:54 AM EDT
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

The Complete First Season

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 EDT
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 EDT
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 EDT
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

What would you do for your family? Would you kill someone or rob a bank? What if you were a career criminal about to lose the family farm due to crooked bankers who preyed on the elderly and ill? Would the end justify the means? Hell or High Water, the new film from Director David Mackenzie (Asylum), gives you ... Read More
