With the huge success of author Veronica Roth's Divergent Series novels, there was no doubt that Hollywood would come a calling turning them into smash hits for the big screen. The first installment, Divergent had huge numbers at the box office (over 300 million worldwide) and the film makers are hoping that the next film, Insurgent will follow suit.

What young girl hasn't dreamed of being Cinderella? Not just putting on the dress and the shoes, but actually BEING Cinderella? The dress, the shoes, the prince, the castle, the pumpkin, the love, the loss, all of it? Lily James (Downton Abbey) has actually gotten that chance and has literally been transformed into the beloved character in the new live action Cinderella Movie.

Will Smith and Margot Robbie team up for an extraordinary con in, Focus. In the film Smith plays  Nicky, a veteran con artist, who takes a novice named Jess (Margot Robbie) under his wing.

You may not be familiar with the name Jim White, but all of that is about to change. The new film, McFarland is based on White's life focusing on the time he moved to a small, impoverished California town and changed the lives of dozens of high school students for the better.      

Johnny Depp loves working with Paul Bettany. The two have acted together in Transcendence and The Tourist but have never been in a comedy together, until now. Mortdecai not only teams them up but allowed them to be completely and utterly silly in their roles. 

 “Annabelle” arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD on January 20 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Reuniting the filmmakers behind 2013’s hugely successful supernatural thriller “The Conjuring,” “Annabelle” is the terrifying story of where it all began as Annabelle comes to life.

ward season is officially in full swing with the Critics Choice awards handed out in Hollywood last night. Richard Linklater's 12-years-in-the-making labor of love Boyhood walked away with Best Picture and Best Director at the 20th Critics’ Choice Movie Awards at the Hollywood Palladium. Birdman led the field with seven wins, including three for Michael Keaton Best Actor, Best Comedy Actor and Best Acting Ensemble. Julianne Moore is on a roll winning Best Actress for Still Alice, as did J.K. Simmons who drummed up a Best Supporting Actor win for Whiplash. The Grand Budapest Hotel took three awards including Best Comedy, and Guardians Of The Galaxy took two.

Oscar nominated actress Sally Hawkins was quick to jump on board of the sweet new family film, Paddington.  For one thing, the film is directed by her close friend Paul King but having grown up in the U.K. Sally was more than familiar with the books based on the precocious and adorable bear and his adventures. 

Many obvious choices and some MAJOR snubs at the 2015 Oscar nominations announced early this morning from Hollywood. For some like The Theory Of Everything and The Imitation Game, there was plenty of good news. However, for Selma director Ava DuVernay and lead actor David Oyelowo, American Sniper director Clint Eastwood, the Roger Ebert documentary Life Itself, Jennifer Aniston for her performance in Cake and the animated favorite The Lego Movie, among others it’s hard to believe the blatant snubs. 

There will be some pretty heavy competition at Canada’s annual film awards with nominations announced yesterday in Toronto. Wonder kid Xavier Dolan’s critical darling Mommy will face off against David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars.
