Roman Polanski has always been one of the film industry's most respected directors. He has made movies in various genres and has always focused on experimenting in his films. He has also led actors to some of their finest performances.
"The Rover" is easily one of the finest films of the last few years and has firmly established Michod as one of the greatest directors of the current generation.
"Think Like a Man too" is slated to win the box office, beating out holdovers "22 Jump Street" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and newcomer "Jersey Boys."
The musical has become one of the staples of modern Hollywood. Studios have made a tradition of taking a recognized Broadway show and adapting it into a lavish film. Sometimes the musicals are disasters, like Rob Marshall's "Nine," which had Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and Nicole Kidman -- but was completely incoherent. And sometimes the musicals have great music and great casts but just do not translate into great films. With the release of Clint Eastwood's "Jersey Boys" and Marshall's soon-to-be-released "Into the Woods," here are some of my favorite musicals.
Ella Wahlestedt is about to have her big break in Hollywood with her new movie "Earth to Echo." The new film by Relativity Media tells the story of a group of kids who embark on an adventure with an alien who needs their help. Wahlestedt plays the role of Emma, one of the main protagonists in the film. This is her debut film, though she has been working in the industry for a number of years. The Swedish actress worked in a number of short films, including "Stellar Strokes" and "BFF Zombies." Her first TV appearance was on an episode of "Matchmakers," and she was quickly cast for the first and only season of "Army Wives." Prior to the release of her new film, Wahlestedt had a chance to speak to Latin Post and told us about her experiences working on her first feature and the process of CGI work.

The Best Picture category has always been one of the most predictable categories as the precursor awards dictate what the Academy will do when picking its top films of the year. However the one thing that is unpredictable is how many films will be nominated in the category. Since the Academy decided to allow five to 10 films, it has been hard to guess how many films will be nominated for Best Picture.
The Best Supporting Actor category at the Academy Awards is always a very competitive category and this year will not be different.

The winter season saw "The Lego Movie," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Divergent" surpass expectations and became successful financially. However after the first month of the summer season, Box Office Mojo is reporting that the box office took a hit, and this past May is the lowest since 2010 because of the lack of successful movies.
On June 6, Tom Cruise's latest science fiction film "Edge of Tomorrow" will be released. The film has been getting a number of great reviews and is considered a must-see for the summer.
