Snitch - Movie Review
When its noted that a movie is "based on a true story", you should definitely take that as a very loose definition. Sure, Snitch is rooted in fact, but director Ric Roman Waugh also pushes those boundaries quite a bit to turn an interesting story in to what becomes a more thrilling adventure involving drug cartels and highb speed car chases.
Jack the Giant Slayer - Movie Review
Bryan Singer is best known for directing the first three X-Men movies which were all wildly successful entries into the cinematic super hero genre. Now he is taking a giant leap into fairy tale land by turning the classic story of a young boy who stumbles upon some magic beans and turns it into an epic adventure in Jack the Giant Slayer.

2013 Academy Awards - Prediction Special
Welcome to the TwoOhSix.com second annual
Academy Awards Prediction Special!
This is my second attempt at picking the winners of those famous gold "Oscar" trophies and I look forward to seeing who actually walks away with them. I have only included categories where I feel I can make a good decision while leaving out ones where I would only be guessing.
You will see the nominees for each category along with who I feel will ultimately win although you will not see who I feel is the most deserving of the awards. Those announcements will be saved for another post.

Dark Skies - Movie Review
Paranormal Activity. Insidious. Dark Skies. This lineage of horror movies has been put out by a team of producers seemingly bent on scaring the crap out of audiences all over the world. Writer and director Scott Stewart takes a decidedly different approach with this movie than his previous effects driven efforts Priest and Legion.

Step right up, folks! We have reviews of all four of the major theatrical releases for the holiday weekend! Which ones are worth seeing? Are any of them worth seeing? Are there any other movies worth seeing? Read below to see our picks for the biggest date weekend of the year!
Safe Haven - Movie Review
Safe Haven is being released during the Valentine's holiday weekend to capitalize on movie goers looking for an appropriately sappy date movie to cap off their night's festivities. Director Lasse Hallström hit a home run with last year's Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and looks to recreate a similar experience for audiences with the help of Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough in the lead roles.

A Good Day to Die Hard - Movie Review
Fans of the Die Hard franchise will be very happy to see Bruce Willis back for another turn as John McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard. Meanwhile, director John Moore is most likely hoping the iconic action hero can keep his latest effort from being as much of a total disaster as his last movie (2008's Max Payne) was.

Identity Thief - Movie Review
Director Seth Gordon is hoping to have as at least much success with his latest effort, Identity Thief, as he did with Horrible Bosses, his surprise hit from 2011. Reuniting with Jason Bateman and pairing him up with the outrageous antics of Melissa McCarthy is definitely a step in the right direction, but the key to any successful comedy is being able to combine all the gut busting moments with a story that keeps it from becoming a series of sketches that never add up to anything worthwhile.

Beautiful Creatures - Movie Review
Beautiful Creatures is a movie adapted for the screen from a popular novel written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Director Richard LaGravenese had a tall task ahead of him in pleasing hardcore fans of the book while looking to draw in a new audience all while putting relatively unknown actors, Alice Englert and Alden Ehrenreich in the lead roles of Lena Duchannes and Ethan Wate respectively.

Side Effects - Movie Review
Over the last year and a half, Steven Soderbergh has released three very distinct movies (Haywire, Magic Mike, and Contagion), all of which received a fair amount of both criticism and acclaim. With Side Effects, the director goes boldly in to the world of the pharmaceutical industry and creates a thriller with so many twists and turns, you may feel like you need a prescription yourself to figure it all out.

Star Wars: The Map
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away a whole bunch of stuff happened across many planets and several star systems. There was talk of trade routes, mentions of far off regions, and a core section of colonies and planets that held most of the galaxy's inhabitants.
Have you ever wondered how all these planets and systems would be laid out across the now famous fictional galaxy that George Lucas first imagined back in the early 70's? Well, now you can see for yourself thanks to an amazing map that was posted on DiscoveryNews.com.

The Impossible - Movie Review
Based on an incredible true story of survival, The Impossible shows how a devastating natural disaster can test the will of a family on the most basic level of survival. Director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage) does his best to recreate the devastation of the 2004 Thailand tsunami while Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor turn in powerful performances as vacationing couple Maria and Henry.
