Singer Francesca Battistelli branches out into motion pictures with a cast role in the upcoming movie Woodlawn.

Here's what we know so far...

"Hotel Transylvania 2" is Not Much to Sink Your Teeth Into

Anything in this oddball Halloween party pic worth really sinking your teeth into, though? Not really. But at least the movie doesn't bite back … very hard.  So does it bite too hard for your little ones?  Check out this video movie review from Plugged In.

"The Intern": They Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore

The Intern isn't another retread of two opposites who grow to learn from one another in equal measure. It's the story of a strong but overwhelmed woman who needs someone in her corner, and the man who finds purpose again by having her back.

Oyelowo and Real, Gritty Faith Ensure This Christian Film Has a "Captive" Audience

From a storytelling angle, best-selling author Dr. Henry Cloud said it best when he described Captive as showing "faith as it works in real life… no sugar coating, no platitudes."

"Everest" is a Beautiful, Deadly Journey

Everest features the terror and suspense of any good Man vs. Nature film, although in number and length of the more visceral scenes, it falls on the lower end of the kind usually featured in disaster movies

For a Movie about Heaven, "90 Minutes" is Surprisingly Earthbound

Not all books, popular or otherwise, make for very good movies, and 90 Minutes in Heaven falls squarely into the not-cinema-ready category.

"The Transporter Refueled" is Fast, Fun, and Even Features a Few Lessons

There is an actual plot with nice little twists and turns—not always the case in an action movie—but they also packed a lot of action into a fast 96 minutes.

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E." is Just the T.I.C.K.E.T.

Director and co-writer Guy Ritchie pulls off a solid and enjoyable heist, with direction far cleaner and more energetic than your average summer flick.

"Fantastic Four" Written by a Not-So-Fantastic Three

In a word, Fantastic Four... isn't. But I suppose you want something to back that up, so here goes...

Too Many Familiar Notes Mean Too Much "Ricki", Not Enough Flash

Ricki and the Flash is proof positive that an all-time great in the lead role isn't enough for a movie to succeed.

Shepherd Your Flock and Go See "Shaun the Sheep"

While not a breakthrough from Park or even the height of his output (remember Chicken Run?), this new film is the kind of gentle, eager-to-please winner that we don't see much these days.

So, how good is it?  Check out our review for more information!

The Kendrick Bros Take Their Films Beyond Sherwood

With several successful films like "Courageous and "Fireproof" now under their belts, Christian filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick are now putting the finishing touches on their latest motion picture, on the power of prayer, tentatively titled, Movie Five.

Best "Mission" Yet is One You Should Choose to Accept

I did try to think of something I didn't like about the movie but... that appears to be impossible.

The Geeks Inherit the Earth in Entertaining "Pixels"

After a string of flops, including last year's Blended with his go-to romantic lead Drew Barrymore, Pixels is probably the best comedy Sandler's made in a while.

"Ant-Man" is Jam-Packed with Small Pleasures

"Self/less" is Cinematic Escapism with Soul

I always think a good summer movie needs three things: a plot that keeps me interested, a reasonable amount of action, and—just saying—a little eye candy. Self/less delivers all that and more in a twisty-turny, edge-of-your-seat story that requires more than a little suspension of disbelief but is definitely worth the effort.

"Inside Out" a Literal Train Ride of Emotions in the Best Way Possible

Don't let the animation fool you; this isn't really a movie for wee ones. The concepts are too sophisticated for the toddler crowd to appreciate. To an adult, Inside Out is almost painfully funny. All those emotions are oh-so-familiar and their reactions are spot on.

"Max" is a Mixed Breed of Patriotism and Head-Scratching Antics

Rather than serving as a well-timed tribute to service dogs and their handlers with Independence Day weekend just around the corner, Max winds up being a strange breed of patriotism and head-scratching antics.

The Hunt Has a Familiar Quality in "Big Game"

Part of the fun of Big Game is figuring out just when, and how, such key details will re-emerge in the story—although your willingness to go along with such routine plotting may depend on the amount of money you spent on tickets to Big Game.
