(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/16/2015 11:56 AM EDT The voices in your head are real! They are cute, colorful, and wreak havoc with your emotions. At least that is what Disney and Pixar would like you to believe.Riley is an 11 year old girl who, for the most part, has had a pretty happy life so far. She is a silly, sweet, honest kid with loving parents and good friends. All of this... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 6/11/2015 11:58 AM EDT Back in 1993, the way films were made, and viewed, changed forever with Jurassic Park, a Stephen Spielberg (Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) film based on a book by Michael Crichton (Disclosure,Congo). The film blended the use of animatronics, CGI, and an engaging story, with characters you cared about, to become an international success.The succe... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/10/2015 12:38 PM EDT If you've seen Lean On Me or Stand And Deliver, you've pretty much seen McFarland USA. Impoverished students succeeding against the odds; encouraged by their teacher to achieve greatness despite their surroundings. The difference here is merely the location – instead of inner-city ghettos, McFarland,... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/9/2015 2:01 PM EDT Every high school movie has the usual cast of characters and The DUFF is no different. There is Madison (Bella Thorne; Shake It Up, Blended) – the popular, beautiful, mean Homecoming queen, Wesley (Rob Amell; True Jackson VP) – the star quarterback that is friends with everyone but not especially bright, and Bianca (Mae Whitman; P...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/4/2015 11:48 AM EDT Melissa McCarthy's (Heat, Identity thief) movies are hit and miss. Bridesmaids was hilariously funny but Tammy was just awful. Luckily, her latest comedy, Spy, falls into the former category with 2 hours of nonstop humor that will have you laughing out loud.McCarthy plays CIA agent Susan Cooper, who does nothing more than sit behind a c...

(Nathan M Rose) 6/2/2015 10:25 AM EDT Jupiter Ascending, the latest science fiction film from the creators of The Matrix (the Wachowskis'), creates a world in which the rich are reincarnated, people are spliced with animal DNA, and human beings are processed for their life force to keep them young.Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis; Ted, Black Swan) has a boring, miserable life. ...

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/28/2015 11:52 AM EDT I get why they named the movie Focus. As Will Smith's (Men in Black, Ali) character, Nicky, explains the trick to being a good con artist is to shift the victim's focus away from what you are really trying to do. Unfortunately, I felt neither the need nor inclination to actually focus on watching this movie. Coming to Blu-ra... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/22/2015 10:55 AM EDT After an explosive theatrical run, Kingsman: The Secret Service, is coming home on Digital HD. The film follows an elite group of spies who operate covertly outside the confines of traditional government agencies. They foil all types of international plots without receiving any recognition. They live their lives under the guis... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 5/21/2015 10:44 AM EDT Tomorrowland — an alternate world where everyone is happy and carefree and technological advances are beyond our wildest imaginations. Of course, things are never really as perfect as they seem. Disney's latest attempt to entwine theme parks with cinema results in an identity crisis riddled movie called Tomorrowland, out in th...

(Judith Raymer) 5/20/2015 11:26 AM EDT Eloquently understated and poignant...I'll See You In My Dreams.There are no grandiose overtures to lure the audience in, but as soon as the film starts rolling, the trance begins. The plot is incidental; the story profound.At a time when our elders are undervalued, and not fully respected as individuals, writer/director Brett Haley (The New Year; ... Read More |
