Are Movie Theaters Dying Out?

Posted on 04. Sep, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Audra Rundle

Despite the theaters being packed with blockbuster movies filled with star-studded line-ups and plenty of action (of all variety), the attendance to movie theaters this summer was the lowest in a decade. There isn’t just one obvious answer as to why, but a combination of alternative technology entertainment and world events likely had something to do with it.Read More »

Too much testosterone in The Expendables for you? Fear not, there may soon be a female version. Just as The Expendables 2 hits move theaters, producer Adi Shankar has announced plans to create an “Expendables-inspired” film starring well-known actresses in the action genre. Shankar, who financed The Grey and the upcoming Judge Dredd remake through his company, 1984 Defense Contractors, has hired Dutch Southern to write the script.Read More »

Posted on 22. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

Action movies seem to be all the rage these days. There are so many different action-packed flicks hitting the theaters, it’s hard to choose! The summer was jammed with super-hero films: The Dark Knight, The Avengers, The Hunger Games, etc. The release of the newest movie in the Bourne series has created quite a stir. And of course, those are just a few titles.Read More »

Robert Pattinson’s Silver Lining

Posted on 22. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Audra Rundle

My mom always told me that everything has a silver lining, even – especially – the really crappy stuff. It appears there may even be a silver lining for Robert Pattinson after his girlfriend of three years, Kristen Stewart, cheated on him with her 41-year-old married director.  Sure, Pattinson has had his heart ripped out of his chest and trampled on and is publically humiliated, but all the extra attention from the tabloids actually came at the perfect time to inadvertently help promote his new film, Cosmopolis.Read More »

Not Another Concert Flick

Posted on 22. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Audra Rundle

If Hollywood is good for one thing, it’s beating a dead horse. When it finds something that works (translation: makes money) it keeps doing it – again, and again, and again….sigh. You get my point. The latest trend is making concert movies about pop singers. It started with Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never, then Katy Perry’s Part of Me, and now Jennifer Lopez is getting in on the trend.Read More »

“Zero Dark Thirty” Trailer

The presidential elections are upon us, and many are not enthused about it. Many have lost hope in the Obama administration, but many also dislike his opponent, Mitt Romney. This makes for a very difficult political battle, one that needs as much advertising and campaigning as possible. People need to get excited about the elections, or at the very least, decide who they are voting for and prepare for it.Read More »

“Life in a Day” – A Documentary by Everyone

Posted on 16. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

The other day, Tye was ranting to me about some documentary I needed to watch. Mind you, this comes from the same guy who likes to watch really disgusting YouTube videos and documentaries on the worst drugs in the world. He also likes Star Wars a lot. So when he said that, I was thinking that it couldn’t be that great.

And then I watched it.Read More »

Bourne Again

Posted on 16. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Abby Lee Hood

I have to start off by being honest: the newest installment of the Bourne series is the only one I’ve ever seen. My experience with the film may differ vastly from someone who’s a fan of the other movies, simply because I haven’t seen them all. However, I did make it to the theaters with Tye and my dad to see it, and The Bourne Legacy was amazing!Read More »

Big Things Ahead for 50 Cent’s Acting Career

Posted on 14. Aug, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Jordan Alexis

For over a decade, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has been synonymous with the hip-hop scene. Eminem’s protégé and founder of G-Unit is known for hard lyrics about his days in the streets, and the rapper – who was previously shot multiple times – really knows what he’s talking about. But Jackson is showing that there’s way more to him than his ability to drop rhymes about women and the gangsta lifestyle; he’s also well on his way to a very successful acting career.Read More »
