Voyagers

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/8/2021 6:30 PM EDT
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

Godzilla vs Kong

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 12:00 PM EDT
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 is n... Read More

Nobody

(Alyn Darnay) 3/25/2021 4:24 PM EDT
This film is like turning over a rock, you never know what's underneath until it's seen. That's the great joy in this film; only you can probably guess what's coming from the first scene when a battered Bob Odenkirk is sitting in an interrogation room feeding a stray cat. It's a beautifully constructed sequence that leaves the possibilities wide op... Read More

Nobody

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/22/2021 9:20 PM EDT
Have you ever felt as if your life was mundane and monotonous? Have you felt invisible or expendable around your family and friends? Have you ever been ignored at work? Nothing exciting ever happens? You live the same routine day in and day out with nothing thrilling ever happening? You're caught in a rut? A Hamster ru... Read More

The Courier

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/18/2021 8:22 PM EDT
The world has been in an arms race since before World War II. By 1960, The United States and the Soviet Union were front and center as both countries boasted nuclear weapons at their disposal. The "Cold War" was in full effect and spies from the U.S., Britain, Soviet Union, etc. were working to gather as much information about their... Read More

Boogie

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/8/2021 8:33 PM EDT
Through the years there have been tons of sports-related movies. Football, baseball, hockey, basketball…you name it, it has probably been done. Heck, there is even a movie about bobsledding. So, when another sports film heads to theaters, you have to wonder what makes it different from all the rest? The latest endeavor, distribut... Read More

Coming 2 America

(Alyn Darnay) 3/4/2021 3:27 PM EDT
Let's get this out of the way right from the beginning; I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's fun, as only Eddie Murphy can deliver it, it's nostalgic, conjuring up the magic the first film brought to us back in the late '80s, and it sticks to its original themes of love, family, and tradition. It's still the acceptable Cinderella story for our mode... Read More

Chaos Walking

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/3/2021 2:35 PM EDT
British – American author Patrick Ness (A Monster Calls) has written several young adult short stories and novels since first being published in 2003. His work has garnered accolades and awards with two novels having been adapted into films and a third into a television series. His latest film, Chaos Walking, follows Todd (Tom Hol... Read More

Raya and the Last Dragon

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/1/2021 12:00 PM EDT
Diversity has become a common topic for discussion in the entertainment industry. From "whitewashing" of award nominees and casting movie/television roles with actors of different ethnicities than the characters they are supposed to be portraying. As such, the country is seeing a shift towards more conscious and varied charact... Read More

Tom & Jerry

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 2/26/2021 8:41 AM EDT
Eighty years ago, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera created a cartoon for MGM studios called Tom & Jerry. They wrote 114 short films about the house cat, Tom, and his nemesis, Jerry the mouse. Over the course of eighteen years, Hanna and Barbera but the unlikely duo in all kinds of situations pitting them against each other most of ... Read More
