I don’t know about you, but I was perfectly happy with the 1990 Schwarzenegger sci-fi actioner “Total Recall.” At least I thought I was. The now available trailer from Sony/Columbia Pictures has me believing otherwise. First, it stars Colin Farrell and two of the hottest women on Earth, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. Secondly, it…
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is an utter delight. Here is a satisfying comedy unafraid to have a heart and a brain, and it has no interest in toilet humor or cheap gags. It’s one for the mature crowd, as it earns lots of belly-laughs through genuine wit and doesn’t shy away from the inherent…

And with the country having gone through a rebellion years…
The new trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman is here and without mincing words, it looks awesome.
