They are fairly impressive creatures, these wolf-men who run around shirtless a lot, turn into giant wolves when angry and seem to own matching sets of magical pants that reappear when they transform back into their human selves. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/top-story/story/1341303.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/top-story/story/1341303.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST ''You're not the first monsters I've met,'' the 18-year-old Bella (Kristen Stewart) yawns at a pack of werewolves.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" took in $72.7 million in its first day to break the single day domestic box office record previously held by "The Dark Knight," which had a $67.2 million opening day last year. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/AP/story/1345132.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/AP/story/1345132.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:27 EST John Travolta and his family have helped raise money for charities in their home state of Florida with a screening of his new comedy http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/AP/story/1345088.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/AP/story/1345088.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:07 EST "Anything's possible in this storm!" says the man with the badge in Werner Herzog's delirious "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," a true feat of daring and one of the craziest films of the year. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341304.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341304.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST ''Every day I tell myself something's going to happen,'' the eponymous heroine thinks early on in Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. ''I'm going to break through, or someone is going to break through to me.'' To say that she eventually gets her wish -- sort of -- doesn't spoil a thing: This bruising, harrowing movie would be impossible to sit through without at least a hint of light at the end of its astonishingly dark tunnel. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341295.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341295.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Uplifting. Heartwarming. Schmaltzy but effective. The Blind Side is a feel-good true story of interracial adoption and gridiron glory. The project could have been designed by scientists synthesizing the crowd-pleasing-movie genome. Bullock + football + Kumbaya = Ka-ching! http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341682.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341682.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST There are loads of references to other sci-fi movies in Planet 51: E.T., The Day the Earth Stood Still, Star Wars, even to a cute little mutt with a head shaped like the monster from Alien that squirts acid urine. The movie, about a far-flung planet of green aliens whose civilization resembles 1950s malt-shop and doo-wop America, is also crammed with subtexts about the era's paranoias, from UFO invaders to McCarthyism. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341301.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1341301.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00 EST In the well-behaved documentary Earth Days, wizened, Woodstock-era veterans of the environmental movement recount how conservationists and the counterculture steered Spaceship Earth in a new direction. Yet there's little that's new in the retelling, except mellowed musings on Environmentalism 2.0. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1329228.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1329228.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00 EST The first time the sun destroyed the Earth in a Hollywood movie this year came at the end of Knowing, when our planet went up in smoke in a matter of minutes. The sun is at it again in 2012, although we are not going down so quickly this time. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1329503.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1329503.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Once upon a time (in 1966) in a galaxy far, far away (Great Britain), rock 'n' roll was king (except on the traditional airwaves). Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart -- you could hear them all on local radio stations. But the fresh new sounds of the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks were nowhere to be found. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1329258.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1329258.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00 EST (Untitled) is a comedy for anyone who has ever stood before an abstract painting or sculpture or witnessed a performance of interpretive dance and music, and thought ''I could have done this.'' The question of what, exactly, constitutes art is at the center of director Jonathan Parker's satire of the New York gallery scene. The movie simultaneously mocks the vacuousness of the avant-garde and celebrates the spirit with which the artists pursue their sometimes pointless, futile passions. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1317463.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/story/1317463.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival: The 24th annual event moves into its final week of new features, documentaries and shorts from around the globe plus parties, seminars and films for kids.
