"Into the Woods" is a modern twist on several of the well known Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of the stories and exploring the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests.

It is adapted from the 1986 on stage musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. Actors James Corden and Emily Blunt are the bakers who wish to conceive a child but must break a spell that was cast upon ...

When The Misfits was released, in 1961, it flopped at the box office. Despite the presence of three Hollywood Stars, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, and an Oscar winning director, the film barely broke even. Why did The Misfits fail to find its audience? In my opinion, this is due to the fact that it was not a typical Hollywood film; nor did it fit the usual roles played by the movie's stars, whom were otherwise box office gold. Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol known for her roles as a dumb blonde in romantic comedies. And Clark Gable was known for his heroic roles as the debonair leading man....

A "Black Hawk" is a very advanced, expensive and deadly military helicopter and the title of the movie explains what the "goal" of the plot was.

A rocket was actually shot at one of the black hawks while a soldier was preparing to descend to its target but to dodge the missile the helicopter had to jar itself to the left which caused the soldier to plummet to the ground. The movie was very graphic and the language was pretty harsh but then again the material being covered was very harsh itself....
