The Gallows

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/12/2015 11:50 AM EST
The Gallows is the latest in a long line of newer horror films that uses the "raw footage" technique to convince the audience they are watching real life events. As one of the productions under the Blum House juggernaut (in conjunction with Warner Bros.), the movie has to live up to its brethren, such as the likes of Paranormal Acti... Read More

Tomorrowland

(Nathan M Rose) 10/12/2015 10:29 AM EST
"If we can dream it, we can do it", the line made famous by the now retired Horizons attraction at Epcot in Walt Disney World, perfectly sums up the message of hope that the new film, Tomorrowland, tries to convey it's audience.Tomorrowland, written/directed by Brad Bird (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The In...

Poltergeist

(Nathan M Rose) 10/11/2015 10:59 AM EST
It is the golden age of remakes in Hollywood these days, and next up in the remake playbook is the recreation of the 1982 smash horror hit Poltergeist from producer Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-man) and director Gil Kenan (City of Ember, Monster House).While not a direct word-for-word remake of the original film, Poltergeist fol...

The Leftovers: The Complete First Season

(Sean Ferguson) 10/8/2015 3:07 PM EST
The Leftovers…Not Just For Dinner.Last year, HBO debuted a new series from writer Damon Lindelof, who was one of the masterminds behind the hit series "Lost". I never watched "Lost" ( yes I know I'm one of the rare few that didn't), but I've been told that it was frustrating in later years of the seasons and the ending wa... Read More

Pan

(Paul Kates) 10/8/2015 11:08 AM EST
Taking a well-known story and twisting it around a little cannot be the easiest thing to do. With his latest film, Pan, Director Joe Wright takes J.M. Barrie tale of Peter Pan and gives his take on what was before the story we all know.The film starts off with Peter being abandoned at an orphanage as a baby, before moving forward twelve years to th...

iZombie: The Complete First Season

(Nathan M Rose) 10/7/2015 1:20 PM EST
It seems, these days, zombies have replaced vampires as the most popular monster in pop culture. Zombie films, video games, and television shows have saturated our society so much it's easy to dismiss most of them. But then sometimes, just sometimes, a show like iZombie comes along and makes you revisit the entire genre.iZombie, which is based ... Read More

Magic Mike XXL

(Bonnie Greenberg) 10/6/2015 3:18 PM EST
After being a fan of the original Magic Mike movie, I couldn't imagine where they would go with the story line for Magic Mike XXL. I'm a huge fan of Channing Tatum and I think he's an amazing actor (It doesn't hurt that he is totally gorgeous and a rockin' dancer). This movie did have a slow start for me, but got be...

Jane the Virgin: The Complete First Season

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/5/2015 10:15 AM EST
I wanted to give Jane the Virgin points for originality, until I found out it was based on a Telanovela called Juana La Virgen. As interesting and unique as the premise is, in a world full of superheroes and zombies, I just couldn't help but find it to be a little dumb. Garnering critical acclaim and a Golden Globe for the show'... Read More
