The Tom Cruise movie that immediately came to mind in the opening scenes of Edge of Tomorrow, the entertaining Groundhog Day-meets-Starship Troopers movie that opened Friday, wasn’t one of his previous science-fiction blockbusters. It was A Few Good Men.
In the new film, directed by Doug Liman, Cruise plays Major William Cage, a charming, TV-ready spokesperson for the global military who’s successfully recruited millions of volunteers for the war against invading aliens. But he’s hardly a soldier — he coasted through Rotc and then ran an advertising agency — and the commander in charge (Brendan Gleeson) of...

Rick Grimes is having yet another very bad day. Not a wake-up-from-a-coma-to-find-the-world's-been-overrun-by-zombies bad day or even a my-son-just-shot-my-wife-after-she-gave-birth-to-a-child-that-may-have-been-fathered-by-my-former-best-friend sort of day, but still pretty awful. There's dirt smeared on his face, a gash over his left eye and a soiled white bandage wrapped loosely around one hand. He's gasping for breath as he trudges up a hill outside the prison he and the band of survivors he's leading call home. He looks like he might collapse.

1979. Unwary cinema participants. A monster in space. Alien redefined the horror genre as never before.”It is a very slow-building film that gives the sense of some great unnamed terror to come. That’s a quality that has much more to do with horror than it does with science fiction.” David Thomson, author of The Alien Quartet says Alien is .basically a haunted house film. The only difference is that the old dark house just happens to be a spaceship.”

What to Expect When You’re Expecting
Directed by: Kirk Jones
Cast: Elizabeth Banks, Ben Falcone, Jennifer Lopez, Rodrigo Santoro, Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid
Running Time: 1 hr 50 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: May 18, 2012
Plot: The intersecting lives of five couples and their different experiences with pregnancy.
Who’S It For?: Women (and dudes just like Schwarzenegger’s character in Junior) won’t find this flick to be all that plentiful with pregnancy wisdom. Though there are jokes specifically targeted at the testosterone in theater, those aren’t funny either. While I’ve never been pregnant, I can say that this movie would probably make my mom (who has actually had nine-pound twins) want to crush someone in the face with this book.
Expectations: Hee-haw, not falling for that one. However, I was curious to see how well this self-help book would transition into a movie,...

Every now and then, dreams come true. Every now and then, we get a chance to cross from the world of fantasy to reality, and speak to the people who've populated our collective dreams for generations. This is a very special episode of Planet Fanboy, in which we speak to Stan Lee.
Stan the Man (as it is impossible not to call him) is not only the principal creator of all the characters in the forthcoming motion picture "The Avengers" (perhaps you heard of it) but he is also the Star of his own movie.
"With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story" is making its debut on Epix this Friday. It is a fun and intimate look at the legendary comic creator's life and career. And it's like hanging out with that awesome Great Uncle who tells loud jokes at family functions.

Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Neal died of lung cancer at her home on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts this past Sunday.
Neal made her movie debut in the 1949 comedy John Loves Mary, in which she starred opposite the late former Us President Ronald Reagan.
The actress had endured a life filled with tragedy.
Following an unhappy affair with her Fountainhead co-star Gary Cooper — during which she became pregnant and had an abortion — she married British author Roald Dahl, writer of numerous children's stories such as "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "James and the Giant Peach".
In 1960, the couple's infant son suffered brain damage after the pram he was in was struck by a taxi in New York City.
After moving to England with her husband, the couple's seven-year-old daughter died from measles encephalitis in 1962.
In 1964, she received the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in the movie Hud, in which...
