I wish I could have been in on the creative meeting when the producers were discussing titles for this thing. Formerly called “Headshot," before someone presumably thought that title was too sissified, “Bullet to the Head” is about as apt a description for a film as I’ve seen in a while. But for all the empty violence, “B2TH” is still kind of fun and compared to last week's “Parker," its craftsmanship at its best. Sylvester Stallone plays Joe Bobo, a New Orleans

There won't be any showings of “Zero Dark Thirty” for Pakistan's audiences.

During a dazzling three-hour event called "Ellipse" which is playing in the French capital until March, the Gruss troupe, made up of a family of musicians, jugglers, dancers, trapeze artists and horsemen, will put

“John Dies at the End” has the spirit, if not always the laughs, of Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” trilogy. Don Coscarelli, who has a nearly thirty plus-year career working on B-grade horror films like “The Beastmaster” and Bubba Ho-Tep," has adapted David Wong’s 2004 comic-graphic novel into one messy, freaky, and mind-boggling ride of a movie.
