Snowden

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/27/2016 9:53 AM EDT
Edward Snowden has been called many things... patriot, traitor, whistle-blower, etc. Some feel what he did was necessary in order to keep our government in check, while others thought he did irrevocable damage to our national security. Regardless of your feelings, there is no doubt he is a brave and polarizing figure. Based on an ... Read More

The Dressmaker

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/26/2016 9:33 PM EDT
There are some stories of the past that are just epic. They tell a story, they involve you in their character's life to the point where you are invested in the outcome and you don't even know its happening until the movie is over. Finally, you let out your breath that you didn't even know you were holding. In this vein... Read More

When The Bough Breaks

(Jennifer Broderick) 12/26/2016 8:32 PM EDT
Hollywood is full of real life stories of the husband running off with the nanny, or having an affair, and there have been several movies made similarly. In fact, there have been movies made where the nanny becomes obsessed with the husband and it didn't end well for the nanny. Screen Gems and Sony decided to put a little spin... Read More

Why Him?

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 12/22/2016 10:00 AM EDT
Can you remember the first time you met your future in-laws? Or the first time your son or daughter brought home their new boyfriend/girlfriend? Hollywood has been playing on this theme over and over again from Guess Who's Coming To Dinner to Meet The Fockers. The latest addition to this grouping is Twentieth Century Fox's... Read More

Sing

(Javier Conte) 12/21/2016 3:29 PM EDT
When I first saw the trailer for Illumination's Sing, it reminded me of a little movie released back in 1997 called Cats Don't Dance. It told the story of an optimistic cat who leaves his home to pursue a career in Hollywood. It was a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood musicals, while at the same time providing social commentary on discriminati... Read More

Jackie

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/21/2016 10:12 AM EDT
November 22, 1963, was the day Camelot ended and changed the face of politics in the United States forever. John F. Kennedy was our 35th President and one of the most beloved. His trip to Dallas, Texas was meant to bring a divided State back to the Democratic Party. Instead, John F. Kennedy was assassinated right in front of his w... Read More

Passengers

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 12/20/2016 12:28 PM EDT
As long as we've been looking up at the sky and stars, interstellar travel has long been a goal and dream of the human race. As technology has advanced in recent years, that goal seems more and more obtainable. While not completely realized yet, we will hopefully have the ability to travel and colonize other planets in the next 100 or s... Read More

Rob Zombie is synonymous with all things horror. Between his films, music, name and even his personal style, there doesn't seem to be a side of him that doesn't delve into the macabre. Zombie has released eight films, all horror, and the latest of these releases is 31.This movie was a bit of a change for Zombie as it actually used cro... Read More
