(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 8/6/2014 9:41 AM EDT If you are a designer car buff and a car racing enthusiast then "Need For Speed" is a movie you definitely want to see. From fast, exotic cars to beautiful scenery from all over the United States the movie won't disappoint the avid Nascar, muscle car and street racing fan. However, if you don't like all those things you ... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 8/5/2014 2:56 PM EDT I always find it interesting when a film comes out "Starring" someone and the supporting actor or actress steals the thunder away from the main star. And so it goes with Twentieth Century Fox's release of "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz being released to BluRay & DVD this week! In all honesty, it should be "Star... Read More |
 
(Judith Raymer) 7/31/2014 9:56 AM EDT Marvel Studios does it again! Cliche? Yes, and yes. About that...We begin by meeting Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) as a young boy (not) coping with his mother's death, and abducted by an alien ship. Rather than deliver him (to whom, we have yet to discover…his extraterrestrial father, Jason, or one of his foes, perhaps)... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/31/2014 9:45 AM EDT Get on Up: the James Brown Story" combines drama, heart and great music to tell the fascinating life story of the Godfather of Soul. Chadwick Boseman (Draft Day) Plays the lead and Nelsan Ellis (True Blood) plays Brown's best friend Bobby Bird. Dan Aykroyd (Ghoptbusters, The Blues Brothers) portrays Brown's long time manager ...

(Paul Kates) 7/30/2014 11:05 AM EDT One of Ancient Greece's most popular myths is turned on its head with Brett Ratner's telling of Hercules. In Ratner's account, the son of Zeus is no more than a leader of a band of cut-throat mercenaries, working their way through life, until they each have enough gold to retire into a life they all desire.Once the predictable narrative that seems ...

(Nathan M Rose) 7/24/2014 4:06 PM EDT This week Universal Pictures hopes to breathe life into a dead summer with their new film Lucy. Lucy, stars Scarlett Johansson, is Luc Besson's (The Professional, The Fifth Element) latest action thriller. The premise although a little far fetched is simple. Lucy is a student studying abroad in Taipei who, through a series of mishap... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/18/2014 10:19 PM EDT Rio 2 once again takes us on an adventure with Blu, voiced by Jessie Eisenberg (The Social Network), the rare blue macaw who is on the verge of extinction. Blu lives with his love, Jewel, voiced by Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables), and their three children. They have a happy life at the animal sanctuary in Rio complete with all the comfor... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/18/2014 10:02 AM EDT Marley Shelton (Eleventh hour) stars as Dr. Alison Lennon, a scientist who has successfully fertilized human eggs in a laboratory. Nothing special about that, you're thinking? Except it's 2025 and women world-wide have mysteriously stopped having the ability to conceive and bare children threatening extinction of the human race.... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 7/18/2014 8:41 AM EDT When it comes to creating a comedy, there are many topics one could shy away from, but Porn has never been one of them. In fact, if done right, it could lend to a fun and interesting story, with major complications. Zack and Miri made a porno that didn't do so well, and yet Don Jon did nothing but watch them…to great success. So why woul... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/10/2014 3:19 PM EDT Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the follow up to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, picks up where the first movie left off. When it starts we see the news reports discussing the spread of the simian flu worldwide and the destruction of the human race. The movie then switches to the woods where hundreds of apes, led by Cesar portrayed via ... Read More |
