Hey Movie Fans!
I’m here to talk about some of the latest movie releases. Today’s list includes “Push” directed by Paul McGuigan, starring Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, and the fierce Djimon Hounsou.

movie’s Web site, this film is the first stop-motion feature shot in stereoscopic 3-D. The film has many enthused about the adventure adapted from the popular children’s novel by Neil Gaiman, about a girl who walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life – a better version. But when the fantasy turns nightmarish, Coraline must rely on her bravery to get back home. The movie certainly has that magical aspect to it. Simply for the amazing graphics this movie has to offer, I would recommend it even to the non-animation lover! “Coraline” is a MUST SEE this week!
Finally, the movie I have been waiting to discuss that has gotten A LOT of buzz is “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Directed by Ken Kwapis, the movie is adapted from the bestseller put out by “Sex and the City” scribes, Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. The movie has a hilarious A-list cast which includes, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, and Justin Long.

The synopsis for the movie reads that the film tells the stories of a group of interconnected, Baltimore-based twenty- and thirtysomethings as they navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life, trying to read the signs of the opposite sex… and hoping to be the exceptions to the “no-exceptions” rule.
Now, I realize what many of you must be thinking. NO! Not another one we can’t bear to see another cliche chick flick! Well, besides what the movie may look or sound like based on its shallow description, I must deny all claims of this being a hard core chick flick. I encourage all males to go and see this movie, be it with a girlfriend, friends, wife or sister, whomever! The movie has also plead its case that even though it seems to be a movie for women, this movie is for everyone because it skips out on those regular cliches we have come to HATE!
To help me prove this, I have posted a hilarious clip from the film’s site with stars from the movie, Justin Long, Bradley Cooper, and Kevin Connolly pleading their case of just how non-cliche the movie is, persuading guys not to fear this movie and to go check it out! It looks like a fun movie so go head out to your local movie theater to see the latest, you know you have nothing better to do! Until next time movie fans!
