Aliens: 30th Anniversary Edition

(Jennifer Broderick) 9/21/2016 11:08 AM EST
Aliens Blu-ray 30th Anniversary Edition features outer space and Sigourney Weaver and makes for one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Can you believe it's been 30 years since Sigourney Weaver graced the movie theaters as Ellen Ripley, the sole survivor of her ship after the catastrophic encounter with the Alien? Who else can...

Free State of Jones

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/20/2016 9:34 AM EST
The Civil War was a time of turmoil and strife in this country, especially for the southern states. The Confederate Army was full of farmers who were not quite sure why they were fighting and while they were away their farms were being ransacked by the very people they were working for. Adding to that, rich slave owners were becoming exempt f... Read More

Bridget Jones's Baby

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/15/2016 11:43 AM EST
In 1996, Helen Fielding introduced the world to a frumpy, single workingwoman from England in the bestselling novel, Bridget Jones's Diary. Funny, self-deprecating and certainly relatable, Bridget became an instant success and spawned a movie of the same name in 2001. Three years later, the film was followed up by its sequel Bridget...

Marauders

(Sean Ferguson) 9/14/2016 10:57 AM EST
Being released this week on Blu-ray & Digital DVD from Lionsgate Premier films is Marauders, an action film starring Law & Order's Christopher Meloni and Bruce Willis. Now, many may not have heard of it, mainly because it's a straight to Blu-ray release, which would seem odd considering the cast. I mean come on! You have Christopher Meloni ... Read More

The Conjuring 2

(Sean Ferguson) 9/13/2016 10:29 AM EST
Let me preface this with a note to all who are reading this: I am not a fan of the Horror Movie Genre. The idea of getting scared in a theater because of a made up ghost or "presence" is ridiculous! I also find it amazing that people shell out $12/$15 to have a cat or something jump into the screen, so they can scream like a teenage girl ... Read More

A Bigger Splash

(Jennifer Broderick) 9/12/2016 9:00 PM EST
A Bigger Splash is set in Rome on a Sicilian Island and stars Tilda Swinton (Doctor Strange), as Marianne Lane, a rock singer, and her boyfriend, Paul De Smedt (Matthias Schoenaerts; The Danish Girl). While recovering from throat surgery, Lane's old flame and producer, Harry Hawkes (Ralph Fiennes; Harry Potter Series), and his grown daugh... Read More

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/12/2016 4:55 PM EST
Pop music is a staple on the radio and won't be going anywhere anytime soon. It's also ripe for jokes and ridicule. The outrageous things popstars do just to get attention can be mind blowing sometimes. I can't think of anyone better to parody this genre than Saturday Night Live Alumni Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).Conne... Read More

Captain America: Civil War

(Jennifer Broderick) 9/12/2016 3:29 PM EST
Everyone loves to see the good guys beat the bad guys but watching it happen in the first fifteen minutes of a movie is exceptional. Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, the third in a trilogy starring Chris Evans as the World War II-made hero, Captain America, shows that three is a charm. Bringing all the Avengers characters togeth... Read More

Who Gets the Dog?

(Jennifer Broderick) 9/12/2016 10:57 AM EST
Have you ever been in a relationship that you think is over (but maybe, just maybe, it's not) and neither of you wants to admit there are still unresolved feelings and when you do want to, something always gets in the way? Who Gets The Dog? is a romantic comedy that portrays exactly that and brings some humor to an otherwise awkward situa... Read More

The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/9/2016 11:15 AM EST
It was called the "Trial of the Century" and it had the American public captivated for almost 10 months. Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson (Cuba Gooding, Jr.; Selma) was arrested and formally charged with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and restaurant worker Ronald Goldman. Captured in a 10-hour limi... Read More
