Anderson regulars Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman round out the voice cast. The animation looks old-school wonderful. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1343338.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1343338.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Nikki Reed patiently awaits her turn in the Twilight scheme of things. Her character, teen vampire Rosalie Hale, is a minor movie character until Stephenie Meyer's third book in the series, Eclipse, becomes a movie in 2010. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1341303.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/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. 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/news/story/1341304.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/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/news/story/1341295.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/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/news/story/1341682.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/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/news/story/1341301.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/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/news/story/1339984.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1339984.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:21 EST The following is a list of movie theaters showing ''The Twilight Saga: New Moon'' Thursday. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1336815.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1336815.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Seventy years later, actress Ann Rutherford still gives a damn about Gone with the Wind. Rutherford, 89, is among the few surviving principal cast members of the Clark Gable-Vivien Leigh Civil War epic, which arrives this week on a new special-edition DVD set and also marks its Blu-ray debut. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1331844.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/movies/news/story/1331844.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00 EST The first movie Lee Daniels directed, the 2005 drama Shadowboxer about a terminally ill assassin and her unusual relationship with her partner in crime, was largely derided by critics and virtually ignored by audiences, grossing less than $1 million worldwide.
