Hello movie lovers. I would first like to apologize for the lack of post. With the holidays in full swing and working a seasonal job at Vermont's own Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, it can make it a challenge to find the time and energy to sit down and give my honest input on a film. Yet my love of movies, especially the overlooked ones will not keep me away forever. So without further to do, I've got one for you DC comic lovers out there featuring one of the darker heroes, Constantine. In this story, we dive into Constantine's (Matt Ryan) past when an old friend named Chas Chandler (Damian O'Hare) who he hasn't seen in nearly ten years following an ill fated incident that would change him to the man he would become. Desperate for Constantine's help, Chas explains that his daughter Trish is in a coma and nothing the doctors have done has helped and feels that there is something evil at work. Confirming Chas's worst fears Constantine must go on a journey to...

While the World Series is long over, America's pastime is still something we enjoy watching, whether its highlights or a good movie like "The Sandlot" or "The Rookie". Yet those movies tend to focus on more than just the love of the game, they show life triumphs and struggles as well and how it all plays out as the players go up to bat. Don (John C. McGinley) is a dedicated pee-wee baseball coach who makes winning the most important thing, but when Michael (Garret Dillahunt) comes on as an assistant coach, his let's have fun approach doesn't mix well with Don's strive to win at all cost. Yet as they come to find a balance on the field, off the field they deal with their own life changes with Michael at a crossroads as to whether to start a relationship with single mom Carolyn (Jlynn Johnson) after the loss of his wife while Don deals with his wife's infidelity and the early stages of a divorce. Finding their common ground on the field, the ...

With over a week before turkey day, we're all thinking about being together with family and friends and for the kids that may not want to watch a football game or dog show after the big parade, you might want to consider some alternatives to entertain them while you're contemplating having that slice of pumpkin pie after that big meal. For the young aspiring strong women out there, this film may be one to consider. In the latest installment of the DC Super Hero Girls franchise, we dive under the sea to Atlantis where two sisters Siren and Mera (both voiced by Erica Lindbeck) live on the outskirts of the underwater city relying on themselves and the hope of obtaining the Book of Legends to give them power in the hopes of making Atlantis their home. Yet when the girls of Super Hero High become involved, they must take on the challenge of saving Atlantis. Join Wonder Woman (Grey Griffin), Super Girl (Anais Fairweather), Batgirl (Mae Whitman), Katana (Stephanie Sheh), Bumbleb...

As we approach the holidays where students are looking forward to getting away from school and all their classes and lessons, some may be desperate to get away more than others. Some may even say school can be hell, or somewhere close to it. After the loss of her father when she was young, Kit (Anna Sophia Robb) has let her life spiral out of control both at home with her mother Ginny Gordy-Dabrowski (Kirsty Mitchell) and her supportive, but frustrated stepfather Dave Dabrowski (Jim Sturgeon), it gets to the point where they're desperate enough to take an offer to an all-girls school call the Blackwood Boarding School that promises to take young troubled girls and turn them into successful women. When Kit first arrives and meets the headmistress Madame Duret (Uma Thruman) it doesn't take her long to suspect there is more going on in this eerie mansion than what you can see. It only gets stranger as the other girls who arrive not long after start to become dedicated to the ...

Well, its officially the holiday season. That time where we get on that roller coaster of parties, lots of food and spending time with family. It's still a few weeks off from carving the bird, but never too soon for a movie about families. This one in particular caught my eye not too long ago that shows a lot of family devotion and what you're willing to do to stay together. Out in the wilderness of a state park in Portland, Oregon Will (Ben Foster) and his teenage daughter Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie) live cut off from the rest of the world relying on their survival skills and each other. Their idealistic existence comes to an abrupt end when Tom is accidentally spotted resulting in the authorities finding their camp and bringing them back to modern civilization. While Tom is unsure at first, she comes to like the idea of living in a home and connecting with people while Will seems to have the exact opposite reaction stemming from his own personal demons. It isn'...
