The Book of Life, the latest animated film from producer Guillermo Del Torro (The Strain, Pacific Rim) is a lighthearted, fun movie with a message.

The Good Lie

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

(Judith Raymer) 10/10/2014 9:35 AM EDT
Watching Kelly Cooper (Jennifer Garner; Alias) navigate the daily grind of parenthood, I couldn't help but feel like the inspiration for this film (as many a mother/father out there will feel when watching it themselves). Watching her bike through traffic in a race to reach Dick van Dyke before a (mis)reading of a children's book remi... Read More

Edge Of Tomorrow

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/6/2014 10:41 AM EDT
"Shampoo, rinse, repeat" or Groundhog's day on a bad acid trip are really two of the best ways to sum up Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise (Mission impossible; Jack Reacher)With the concept of the film, Edge of Tomorrow could have been boring repeat footage going through the same day over and over again but it luckily isn't...
