This is the third trailer we’ve seen for the upcoming “Maleficent” starring Angelina Jolie.
But in this trailer, we finally see Angelina get her dragon on.
I’m not the biggest Disney fan, but the “other side of the story” aspect plus the incredible visuals make this a must see.
Opens May 30th.
Writer-director Matthew Mishory’s gorgeous black-and-white biopic, A Portrait of James Dean: Joshua Tree, 1951, is an intimate fictional portrait of bisexual Hollywood hunk James Dean on the cusp of his big break.
James Preston stars as the legendary ‘50s movie star whose sex appeal for both men and women was undeniable. Stylishly evoking the boundary-pushing sexuality of New Queer Cinema as it focuses on Dean’s experiences as a rising star in Los Angeles, the film’s surreal and dreamlike vignettes blend biographical and fictionalized elements to present pivotal moments in his short yet remarkable life.

Not only setting an October record this past weekend at the U.S. box office, “Gravity” crossed the $100 million mark globally on Tuesday.
Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, the popular space drama earned an additional $6.6 million Tuesday in the U.S.– almost unheard of for midweek in October—bringing its domestic total to $68.4 million.
“Gravity’s” overseas take currently stands at $35.8 million.
Apparently, much of the weekend ticket sales (80%) were sold for the 3D version. Usually not my thing, but I’m guessing if that’s what’s driving this puppy, I should see it the way everyone else is…
The film’s $55.6 million launch over the weekend is apparently a career best for stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The previous October record holder was “Paranormal Acitvity 3” with $52.6 million in 2011.

I love that the people react the way they do.
LOL…

In space, no one can hear you scream.
Unless you’re George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, in which case a record amount of people heard you scream.
Gravity lifted off this weekend with a soaring $55.5 million, the best October opening ever.
I haven’t seen it yet, but plan to. All I’ve heard are rave reviews.
And I love both of the movie’s stars.
This fall, Bridegroom will give audiences a closer look at the tragic story of Shane and Tom, a committed couple living in California. They started a business, bought a home together, traveled the world together, and adopted a dog together.
Though they weren’t legally able to marry in California, Tom and Shane planned to wed one day. Unfortunately, they were never able to, because Tom died after accidentally falling off a roof in 2011.
Tom’s family prevented Shane from going to the funeral because Shane had no legal rights. On the one-year anniversary of Tom’s death, Shane posted this moving and emotional video.
It went viral and garnered the attention of Linda Bloodworth-Thomason (Designing Women), who went on to write, produce, and direct a documentary about Shane and Tom’s story. Bridegroom premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, where it was introduced by President Clinton, and went on to win the Audience Award there as well as at multiple other film festivals this year.
The film will be released in New York City on Friday, Oct. 4, and in Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 18. It will air on the OWN Network on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 10 p.m. ET/PT and will also be available on Netflix beginning that same day. More at Bridegroommovie.com
