The lion king 3D managed to make a roaring $29.3 million this weekend. The reformatted movie, which first hit theaters 17 years ago, got audiences all nostalgic. Bless. I guess this may be the first in a whole slew of Disney reboots (Snowhite 3d?) which could actually be good fun. Simba and his singing furry friends definitely outperformed the hell out of all other new movies that hit the...

I know, usually we tell you which movies topped the box office this weekend, but this was the worst weekend (again!) of the year and there was a new movie that only made a mind bogglingy small amount of money, a new record: Creature made only $336.000 from over 1500 theaters. That's a new low! Usually, monster movies are a pretty sure fired way to make a buck, who doesn't want to see a guy who's...

It's generally a bad idea to wear too many hats in any career, and movie making is no exception. Marcus Dean Fuller is the writer, director and the sar of this rather convoluted drama and though the story isn't bad, and the directing isn't either, maybe he's just not leading man material?A guy comes back home after surviving a terrible car crash, a fall from a cliff and a stint in prison. Not...

Is it better to fight for your country or your family? That would have been an interesting philosophical question underlying this movie, but in the end, Warrior is just a well done, cheesy sports flick. Nought wrong with that, but it might have been slightly better. For instance, it would have helped if the trailer hadn't given away quite the entire story... Two brothers, one a war veteran (Tom...

The Help has managed to be the longest topping movie this year, the only one to manage three weeks in a row since Inception. Not bad for a socially conscious movie about civil rights! The movie, that stars Emma Stone managed to stay ahead of The Debt and Apollo 18 with $18 million.  In second place, Helen Mirren shoots her way through as a celebrated former Mossad agent with a complicated...

What if there was actually a mission to the moon that never made it back to earth? Apollo 18 explores the options if a secret mission to the moon back in 1974 (seriously, when did the seventies suddenly get popular? I lived through bits of the seventies and I looked really silly!) went horribly, horribly wrong. The movie was shot in mockumentary style, with lots of "found footage".  A...

You don't get showered with prizes at Sundance just for looking cute, een though Like Crazy certainly does that. Ahhh. To be that young again, and that stupidly, mercilessly besotted. Anna (Felicity Jones) is a British exchange student living in LA. She gets together wt Jacon (Anton Yelchin) and tries t stay in the US after she graduates. This fails and the couple have to face the hardships of a...

Helen Mirren stars in this remake of the 2007 Israeli movie Ha-Hov. Mirren plays Rachel, one of three retired Mossad agents revered for their capture of a big Nazi war criminal back in the sixties. Now her daughter has written a book about Rachel's heroics and Rachel feels the past is catching up with her.Helen Mirren apparently immersed herself in Jewish tradition, even studying Hebrew to fully...

Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on the box office this weekend, making it impossible for scores of people to go anywhere, let alone to the movies! A lot of theaters actually had to shut down due to the bad weather. So this was the worst box office of the year, only making about $72 million. The Help kept its first spot, second week in a row, but with only $14.3 million. Pretty assassin Zoe...

I compeltely missed Haven season 1, but I just started. FBI agent Audrey Parker (Jericho's Emily Rose) goes to the quaint town of Haven, Maine to find a man. When she gets there her man is already dead and there's a whole lot of supernatural stuff going on that might just hold the key to Parker's mystery past... Well, I guess the most remarkable thing that happened to her in season 1 was...
