College Road Trip

College Road Trip.

"Disaster Movie" less funny than real ones

Somers Town

It's a slight, gentle, sweet-natured comedy shot in black and white, and blessed with a lovely performance from Meadows' great find, Thomas Turgoose (pictured left), the teenage star of his previous film This Is England.

Could China create its own "Kung Fu Panda"?

With Chinese box office totals of more than 135 million Yuan in only three weeks, "Kung Fu Panda" has broken the 100 million Yuan record at the animated film box office in China.

Latest "Hulk" may not spawn a sequel

It's a tale of two movies, with an oddly similar ending.

How's `Hancock' stack up among movie twists?

A Will Smith movie packs in millions of people over Fourth of July weekend. No surprises there.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
