For a few months, fans of the series “Suits” will have to sit and ponder the events of season two’s finale. After an impressive build-up over a split second season, the finale of season two, entitled “War,” largely fell flat from a storytelling standpoint. This episode picks up where the last ...

Recently, I went to go see “Safe Haven,” a book turned film, in theatres. Now, I read the book for the first time several months ago and when I heard the movie was coming out, I was obviously a little skeptical about how it was going to reflect the novel. Nicholas Sparks’ film adaptations have ...
“Beautiful Creatures,” the movie adaptation of the first book of “The Caster Chronicles” by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, brought a less-than- typical romance to audiences on Valentine’s Day. Less heroic than the “Harry Potter” series, but not nearly as sappy as “The Twilight Saga,” ...

Not all eyes watched the meteor streak, bursting a thundering word weighed down last syllable; conversely, A moth of fire, self-sufficient light, Unpacking ice and rock, an outer chrysalis of air.

Is it a deadly brain-eating zombie movie, or is it a teenage romance? Let’s call it a mixture of both along with some horror and humor. “Warm Bodies” is about a zombie named R (played by Nicholas Hoult), who happens to have a conscience and a bit more intelligence than the other typical zombies ...

This film is one of most rare late-winter gems in recent memory. A thriller involving pharmaceutical drugs is a risky investment that, on paper, should not work. Yet it somehow does in the provocative and intriguing thriller “Side Effects.” Steven Soderbergh may be one of Hollywood’s most unheralded ...
“Dangerous Territory” It is another day at Carrie’s internship in the city before a hot new guy walked in. How many can there be in her life? Except he might not be as new as we think. His name is George, and Carrie has known him since she was four-years-old apparently. George, of course, ...
