(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/28/2021 12:00 PM EST Author Tom Clancy (The Hunt for Red October) is known for his thrilling, International / United States security stories, many of which center around one character – Jack Ryan. Twenty-one novels were written by or mostly by Clancy and the character of Ryan has been portrayed by five different actors - Alec Baldwin (Boss Baby), Harrison Ford (T... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/27/2021 1:17 PM EST In the United States, there is a whole group of retired people who buy RVs and travel around the country to "see the sights". Some may call them "wanderers". Conversely, there are those who live out of their cars and vans, traveling the country moving from one seasonal job to another. They tend to be labeled a...

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/23/2021 7:27 AM EST It has been almost thirty years since Midway Games introduced Mortal Kombat to the world of video games, first as an arcade game, then as a personal home video game (currently on its 11th version), and eventually branching out to comic books, animated shows, and live-action feature films. The first feature film, premiering in 1995, is not onl... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/21/2021 9:07 AM EST Imagine what would happen if one of the Terminator movies was reimagined into a computer-animated comedy. It would be cheesy, mildly funny, filled with artificial intelligence and some violence disguised behind some cool music and animation. Columbia Pictures decided to make this movie and this week it debuts in select theaters before s... Read More |
 
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/8/2021 6:30 PM EST If one wanted to try and modernize a classic novel that has been read and dissected by high school English classes all over the country, what book should it be and how would one go about updating it for movie theater audiences? Enter Voyagers…essentially, Lord of the Flies in space, with teens of both sexes sailing along through the darkness... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/1/2021 10:11 PM EST I'm not sure about younger generations, but when someone says the words, "The Greatest Show on Earth" those of a certain age automatically think of Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Circus. The traveling show, which was created in 1919 after the merger of two smaller traveling circuses, boasted everything from trapeze artists and c... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 6:00 PM EST How often does a filmmaker get to completely remake one of their films thirty-three years after the original version came out? The answer is never. If a remake is planned, it generally includes a new, updated version of the original film with a different director and soundtrack (to utilize more modern songs) in hopes of appealing to you...

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 2:53 PM EST How well do we really know the people who are closest to us? What deep, dark secrets dwell inside locked doors somewhere in the back recesses of a person's mind? What if you discovered one of your parents was gay? Or if one of your siblings had a drinking problem? Or what if your husband, that you had known for seventeen years was r... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 12:00 PM EST It is the age-old battle… predator vs. prey, man vs. beast, lizard vs. ape, or more precisely Godzilla vs. Kong. In the world of filmdom, the latter predates the former by twenty-one years. However, the debate as to which creature would win in a fight has raged on three times along. Of course, this month's feature film ... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 8:55 AM EST Could someone please explain to me the desire to take every video game and make it into a movie (generally a whole franchise)? How about explaining Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat) and Milla Jovovich's (Kuffs) obsession with being the people behind these types of movies? I get it…The Resident Evil films were well-received (... Read More |
