Chris Rock delivers best line during animation banter
In recent news, Jennifer Aniston received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She more than deserves it with her numerous contributions to the movie industry, as well as her recognition from “Friends.” However, her stream of success has become overshadowed by another awful movie like “The Break-Up” (2006), “The Bounty Hunter” (2010) and “Just Go with It” (2011).
Most of the hype that surrounds "Act of Valor" is that this film is supposedly more realistic than every other action and war movie of its kind because active duty Navy SEALS were cast instead of actors. The co-directors felt that casting actual Navy SEALs would be better for the film. I personally don't know that, based on past compelling war dramas such as "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) and "The Hurt Locker" (2008).
Jennifer Aniston gains Hollywood star
Japan's Studio Ghibli has a major reputation for delivering some of the greatest animated films in the world. Many of them have come from the extremely imaginative mind of acclaimed director and storyteller Hayao Miyazaki, such as the Academy Award–winning film "Spirited Away" (2001) and the Academy Award–nominated film "Howl's Moving Castle" (2004).
There is nothing more entertaining in the movie industry than a superhero movie.

Recently, it seems like Denzel Washington has moved toward the ways of actors like Liam Neeson: the acclaimed, Academy Award-winning actor who has become a must-see action thriller star.
Valentine’s Day is that special time of year when guys purchase material objects like jewelry, buy expensive flowers and make fancy dinner reservations, all to please their better half. It’s also a great time of year to meet someone special, whether through speed dating or a random encounter, and plan out what is considered to be the most important step in any relationship: the first date. The ideal first date is commonly considered to be treating your date to a fancy dinner and movie. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as it sounds. You’re going to want to be careful when choosing which movie to see because it could affect the mood for the rest of the night. Here are some tips in picking the perfect flick:WARNING: If you’re just spending time with someone you met on Valentine’s Day eve (or, as Barney Stinson calls it, “Desperation Day”) so you won’t be lonely or you’re just looking for some action and not expecting a second date, then this article won’t help you.If there is one thing you don’t want your date to do, it’s fanaticize about some Hollywood hunk/bombshell instead of thinking about what a nice guy/girl you are. For all you guys, resist any temptation to take your date to a movie where the lead actor will mostly walk around bare-chested and showing of his abdominals. As a prime example, avoid anything with Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds and, most importantly, Ryan Gosling. For you ladies, avoid all things Megan Fox or any actress with Jessica in their name. If you want to take your date to a nice romantic flick, you’ll definitely want to avoid something that is too melodramatic. You know, movies like “Titanic.” Those types of movies are great for couples who are at least one month into the relationship, but for first timers, it gets completely awkward. If you do decide to see a film with romance, make sure that it is light on romance and heavy on comedy. Might I suggest romantic comedies like “She’s Out Of My League” or “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” the type of movies that aren’t too romantic and provide comedy to lighten the mood. Which do you think will turn your date off more: watching a woman getting beaten and raped like in “Showgirls” or “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” or watching a movie where a cute little animal, like a puppy or a piglet, dies like in “Marley and Me?” Think ahead and check out the content of the film online to avoid any crying fits — from either of you. Again, this isn’t advice for people who are just looking to get lucky on the first date. If you really want to have something special, then you definitely want to avoid making the wrong impression. Just as a precaution, you might want to avoid films like “Friends with Benefits” and “No Strings Attached,” which basically center on sexual relationships. I know what you are probably thinking: Pixar movies are the greatest films ever made and she will no doubt enjoy it. True, Pixar films do sound like ideal date films ... if you’re anywhere between eight and 12. Besides, don’t you think that you might want to show her your cuter side later on in the relationship? Plain and simple. Nobody looks sexy wearing those big, 3-D glasses.
Just the fact that "The Vow" was released on a Valentine's Day weekend spells out the film's target audience. But this box-office draw alone can't save this Nicholas Sparks wannabe from being completely forgettable one year down the road.
Daniel Radcliffe admits to being drunk on the set of "Harry Potter"
Ever since “The Blair Witch Project,” the found-footage gimmick has been an increasingly popular style among the horror genre. We’ve seen it more recently in films like “Cloverfield” (2008) and “Paranormal Activity” (2007), but they all featured the same problem: rickety cameras that make it hard to see what is actually happening.
During this season of commercialized love and romance, a local production will promote awareness of darker, more noteworthy subjects: sexual assault and domestic violence.

Super Bowl XLVI this weekend
In today’s world of CGI, sound effects and IMAX 3-D, silent films have been long-outdated. So the idea of making a silent film in today’s modern society doesn’t seem like a great idea, especially since it won’t appeal to the average moviegoer.
Of all the modern day action stars, none have been a bigger box-office draw over the past couple of years than Liam Neeson, a man who has established himself as more of a badass than most of the actions stars half his age.
