(Nathan M Rose) 9/16/2010 10:51 PM EDT In the spirit of such films as Sixteen Candles, Can't Buy Me Love, 10 Things I Hate About You, and 13 Going on 30, Screen Gems releases Easy A, starring Emma Stone on audiences this week.

(Nathan M Rose) 8/10/2010 8:27 PM EDT On April 9th, 2010, a very quirky comedy for couples called, Date Night, was released to the movie-going audience. It starred Steve Carell and Tina Fey.
