(Nathan M Rose) 6/9/2011 8:19 AM EDT Looking for a good way to spend this summer? How about watching a classic movie such as Goonies or E.T? Or, how about watching both together? If this sounds like a good idea to you, that is what you will get with the Steven Spielberg/J. J. Abrams film, Super 8, when it roars into theaters this weekend. Super 8 the film that has be...

(Nathan M Rose) 5/26/2011 3:07 PM EDT The Dragon warrior is back in the theaters this Memorial Day weekend with the release of Kung Fu Panda 2. The story takes place a little while after the first Kung Fu Panda film (2008). After earning the respect he deserved at the end of the last film, Po (Jack Black), along with the Furious Five -Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper, a... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 5/25/2011 8:02 PM EDT Adult novels are a hot commodity in Hollywood these days, so it is no surprise that the latest hot title for children, I Am Number Four, by Pittacus Lore, is the latest novel to make its way to the big screen. The story is quite simple and takes it cues from a show on the CW network, John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) is a teenager from another plan... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 4/28/2011 10:00 AM EDT Back in 2006, an intelligent animated film entitled, Hoodwinked! was unleashed on unsuspecting audiences! The film provided a twist on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, and told the story from many different character perspectives. Now after years of waiting (and lawsuits as well), Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil is coming to audiences.... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 4/28/2011 9:08 AM EDT Back in 2001, a little summer film, entitled The Fast & The Furious, was launched on moviegoers. The film, directed by Rob Cohen (xXx), provided enough box office muscle to green light numerous sequels. Fast-forward 10 years to 2011 as Fast Five, the fifth film in the series, is set upon audiences. Fast Five stars an ensemble cast f... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 4/7/2011 4:16 PM EDT Back in 1981, an eclectic movie, entitled Arthur, was unleashed on the unsuspecting public, starting Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli, and John Gielgud. The film went on to enjoy huge success. Thus, it was only a matter of time until a remake was created, and that just happened to happen in the spring of 2011, by Warner Bros studios. ... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/11/2011 8:13 AM EDT Every couple of years, the stars align and two large Hollywood studios end up releasing similar films within a year. In the past, it has been volcanos -- 2010-2011 has brought us alien invasions. The first one out of the gate, Skyline, was an attempt to make a glossy high-end invasion film...it failed. Enter March 2011, Col... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/10/2011 11:11 AM EDT Back in 2008, an indie film director, Catherine Hardwicke, made a big splash in Hollywood with the first film in the Twilight saga. Although not liked by all, her perception of showing teenage angst and true love rocketed the film to stardom and has now become part of Hollywood lore. She tries to strike lightning twice this spring... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 3/3/2011 10:36 AM EDT Pirates of the Caribbean's director, Gore Verbinski (The Ring), has re-teamed with Johnny Depp (Alice in Wonderland, From Hell), and some other of his pirate gang this year to bring audiences around the world, Rango. Rango is a very strange tale of a lizard (Depp), who after spending a very unusual life in a fish tank, ends up in the Moha... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 2/25/2011 7:57 AM EDT The first I heard of Drive Angry, I was attending Comic Con 2010. The premise seemed likely enough to be a decent film -- Milton (Nicolas Cage; The Rock, Con-Air) breaks out of hell to save his granddaughter and to avenge the death of his daughter. Fast forward eight months to February 25, 2011 -- Drive Angry is released to an audience... Read More |
