'Beauty and the Beast' A Delight, But What About Those Stereotypes?
There is no question about the quality of Beauty and the Beast, regardless of whether you watch the animated or the live action version of the film. The films are both visually stunning, and the music is gorgeous. Emma Watson as Belle also has a surprisingly good singing voice, and Dan Stevens makes the most of acting through a heavy layer of makeup. In all, the new film is in many ways on par with the 1991 animated one.

John Lithgow Slays In 'Trial & Error' - Or Does He?
There's no questioning John Lithgow's extensive experience playing both sides of the criminal line. In addition to the Trinity Killer in the much-beloved series Dexter, Lithgow has also played the bad guy in movies like Ricochet, Cliffhanger and Silent Fall. Not to be forever known as a criminal, Lithgow has also played goofy in such series like 3rd Rock From The Sun and played somewhere in between the two as the reverend insistent on forbidding dancing in a small community in the original Footloose. He's also set to appear in the upcoming a cappella sequel, Pitch Perfect 3.

Movie Review - Logan
Movie Review - Logan "Logan, you still have time." Regardless of size (too tall) or not being ridiculously costumed in yellow spandex, I knew at a very specific moment that Hugh Jackman was and is, our Wolverine. It came during my first ever viewing of 2000's X-Men at the theaters. And it wasn't during some barbaric slice'em and dice'em battle scene. It came from a quiet moment when Logan meets the young stowaway Rogue (Anna Paquin, True Blood), and she asks him, "Does it hurt?" while the camera pans up from his knuckles to his face. He quietly replies, "Every time." That subtle little moment told me that one of my favorite Marvel characters, was in good hands. Hugh brought not only ferocity to the role, but he also gave heart to a character with such a rough demeanor. And not once has Jackman ever let us down, even when the ship was collapsing all around him (X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine). If this last film truly is just that, then whoever they try to replace him with, has some mighty big claws to fill.
