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?

X-Men: First Class

(Eric English) 6/4/2011 11:58 AM EDT
The X-Men films were among the first of the comic book film adaptations that introduced the average person to the world of the comic book. The first, which was directed by Bran Singer, was a critical and box office success especially considering it was essentially one long introduction to the all of the main characters and events. Not long after th... Read More

Nothing comes without a price and that's the moral behind the German horror film We Are the Night. Karoline Herfurth stars in this film about a trio of female vampires who are living out the ultimate night life in the clubs of Berlin.

The Hangover Part II

(John Delia) 5/26/2011 12:03 PM EDT
‘Holdover Part II' is more like it because The Hangover Part II should be in movie theaters for a very long time. The hilarious comedy uses the same formula as in the original that got the filmmaker an amazing box office return. The writers, cast and crew did an amazing job of bringing one of the funniest movies of the year to the... Read More

Priest

(Chris Rebholz) 5/16/2011 9:21 PM EDT
Lately there has been an influx of vampire related media. It seems like everywhere you turn there is another TV show or film popping up somewhere. The latest in this series is Priest starring Paul Bettany so as a lone warrior determined to end the vampire invasion for one of the last free human civilizations. The film opens with a botched mi...

Bridesmaids

(Roger Longenbach) 5/12/2011 11:25 AM EDT
From the mind of Kristen Wiig and produced by Judd Apatow, this movie can be summed up as an odd female version of The Hangover. But I don't think it's as good as what it was aiming for. Funny in many places, the story falls flat and may only relate to certain audiences. Story/Script/Plot Development (D): Without giving much ... Read More

Thor

(Chris Rebholz) 5/5/2011 6:18 PM EDT
First there was Iron Man, then the Hulk; soon there will be Captain America but first comes the mighty Thor. That is the latest in the wave of comic book movies to hit theaters in recent years. Since the success of the first Iron Man film Marvel has been able to begin establishing continuity to their movies and characters. This began with Iron Man ... Read More
