It's going to be a busy week for action as Feb. 10, 2012 brings us The Rock trying to save another franchise, Denzel Washington back in control and George Lucas hoping that fans will forgive him and revisit Star Wars in 3D.
Can Dwayne Johnson make Journey 2: The Mysterious Island pop as much as Fast Five? Fro the critical reception, no, not even close. However, for families looking to catch a …

I hear the cry of many a tween (and probably some adults too) as the week of February 7, 2012 brings us the release of the shiniest of shiny vampires and stoners can also get their buzz with the third installment of what has become a beloved franchise.
1) I have never been a fan nor will you convert me, but I'm not going to deny that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part I is going to …

Despite the draw of the Super Bowl, it was a super weekend at the box office as it marked the first time in history two films broke the $20 million mark vs. the biggest football game of the year. It also represented a massive 32% increase in the total box office compared to 2011.
The super teen found footage film Chronicle took the top spot with $24 million. While that total is behind the …

At this point in the awards season, it’s usually easy to call most Oscar races. But what if the Academy decides to get a little funky and create some upsets? Let’s just imagine:
Hugo could win Best Picture
Though The Artist is the favorite, with The Descendents possibly being a spoiler, there’s still a chance Hugo could pull off a major upset. Why? It has the most nominations out of …

Chris Kavan - wrote on 02/03/12 at 10:58 AM CT
It's a weekend of taking chances as a big name steps out of a familiar role and a familiar genre takes on a new challenge.
First the big name - Daniel Radcliffe, better known to legion of raving fans as Harry Potter, takes on a much different role as a lawyer who encounters The Woman in Black. Will the one-time wizard be able to cast a spell on the horror genre? While reviews aren't through …

My cup runneth over with the plethora of options to choose from this week. You have award-worthy recommendations, science fiction and horror plus a major dud that might see a second life on DVD.
1) Although it hasn't gotten near the attention it deserves, Drive is a film that should be on any list for people who like movies. With Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks …
Weekend Box Office: The Grey Claws Its Way to the Top, Man on a Ledge Barely Clings to Top Five
Chris Kavan - wrote on 01/29/12 at 08:03 PM CT
It was another successful box office weekend (compared to last year) as Liam Neeson held off a pack of wolves and wound up on top while scathing reviews didn't stop One for the Money from being a modest hit.
Coming out on top with $20 Million, The Grey represents another solid film for leading man Neeson. While it opened a bit lower than both Taken ($24.7 million) and Unknown ($21.9 million) …
New Movies to Crave: Get Lost in The Grey or Hang Out with a Man on a Ledge
Chris Kavan - wrote on 01/27/12 at 10:37 AM CT
It's been a good start to the 2012 movie season so far; Liam Neeson and Sam Worthington hope to keep these good times rolling as their respective films lead the charge this weekend.
1) On the surface, The Grey looks like Alive vs. that part in The Day After Tomorrow where wolves attack people. Yet even with the wolves in the picture, I have a feeling The Grey is more than meets the eye, if …
New DVD and Blu-Ray Releases to Crave: Fighting Robots, Cancer Comedy and More Paranormal Activity
Chris Kavan - wrote on 01/24/12 at 10:03 AM CT
On a day the Oscar nominations were announced, it's funny that none of the new releases coming out this week will be featured. But then, boxing robots and terrifying entities are not usually recognized by the Academy.
1) In what I like to term Rocky meets Rock'em Sock'em Robots, Real Steel features Hugh Jackman as a promoter who has lost his touch but may just find it again when he discovers …

Looks like the fourth time is the charm for the Underworld series. With Kate Beckinsale back in the picture as vampire warrior Selene, Underworld: Awakening took in $25.4 million to claim the top spot at the box office. It also helped lead the total box office to a 26% improvement compared to last year.
While it wasn't quite enough to top Beckinsale's last Underworld appearance (Underwold: …
