The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 - starring Kristin Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner - hits movie theaters on November 18.
Could ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ be the surprise blockbuster of the summer? Critics certainly seem to think so.
The James Franco vehicle, which serves as a reboot of the classic ‘Apes’ franchise, is receiving strong reviews thus far – or at least stronger than most had expected.
The Harrison Ford/Daniel Craig sci-fi vehicle ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ tied with ‘The Smurfs’ for first place at the box office, with each taking in $36.2 million in their debut weekend.
The blockbuster ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2′ dropped to fourth, earning a total of $318.4 million in the three weeks since its release, while ‘Friends with Benefits,’ ‘Horrible Bosses,’ and ‘Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon’ dropped out of the top five.
Maybe you’ve completely devoured all of the ‘Harry Potter’ films but need a refresher. Or maybe you’re a complete ‘Potter’ neophyte who doesn’t know your squibs from your Muggles, but wants to see the movie everyone’s talking about, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,’ without looking like a total rube.
Whatever your situation, the Fine Brothers are here to help.
One of the great things about having a young son, is the ability to see kids movies. I mean sure I could watch it alone when it comes out on HBO on Demand on Suddenlink in a few months, but I really wanted to see this at Carmike Cinemas in the Lufkin Mall this weekend for opening weekend. I mean Rolling Stone gave it 3 and a half stars. That's high praise for those guys!
Moviegoers will have much to choose from this weekend – the first being the much-anticipated blockbuster ‘The Green Lantern,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
Though the movie wasn’t exactly praised by critics, the hype surrounding the comic-book adaptation should translate into a lot of, well, green at the box office.
As many predicted, 'X-Men: First Class' easily took the top spot at the box office this weekend.
Still, the Marvel reboot, which traced the beginnings of the 'X-Men' characters, managed to fall well below expectations, taking in just $56.0 million. To put things in perspective: That's the lowest debut by an 'X-Men' movie since the franchise launched in 2000, with $54.5 million.
'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' dominated the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, winning five trophies, including the night's most coveted prize, Best Movie.
'Eclipse' stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart also took home prizes, in the categories of Best Male Performance and Best Female Performance, respectively, marking their third-consecutive win each.
I laughed, I cried and I have to admit, I was a little jealous!!! Look at the lengths this guy went to to let his chosen know how much he loved her!
Three new movies are opening nationwide this weekend.
One has the makings of a mega-blockbuster in 'Thor,' the latest in a long line of superhero movies from Marvel. Interestingly enough, this one is from critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated director Kenneth Branagh, the man behind such Shakespeare adaptations as 'Henry V.'
The other big releases this weekend are a nice alternative to the loud thunderous action in 'Thor.' The first is 'Something Borrowed,' based on the popular book by Emily Giffin, starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin. If that doesn't float you boat, you may want to try 'Jumping the Broom,' about two very different families who come together for a wedding at Martha's Vineyard.
