Chloe Grace Moretz stars in Columbia Pictures' THE 5TH WAVE

After the massive success of The Hungers Games, movie studios have been trotting out what they believe will be the next big film adaptation of a young adult novel.

Sure, there’s violence and stuff, but there’s …

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in 20th Century Fox's THE REVENANT

When you look at all involved in the making of The Revenant, it’s not hard to understand why people view it as something with a great deal of potential from just about every angle imaginable. That’s also something that begins to show itself right when the film itself starts. What’s here captures your attention and holds it as your interest …
