Recently, I went to go see “Safe Haven,” a book turned film, in theatres. Now, I read the book for the first time several months ago and when I heard the movie was coming out, I was obviously a little skeptical about how it was going to reflect the novel. Nicholas Sparks’ film adaptations have ...
“Beautiful Creatures,” the movie adaptation of the first book of “The Caster Chronicles” by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, brought a less-than- typical romance to audiences on Valentine’s Day. Less heroic than the “Harry Potter” series, but not nearly as sappy as “The Twilight Saga,” ...

Is it a deadly brain-eating zombie movie, or is it a teenage romance? Let’s call it a mixture of both along with some horror and humor. “Warm Bodies” is about a zombie named R (played by Nicholas Hoult), who happens to have a conscience and a bit more intelligence than the other typical zombies ...
