Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

A Good Day To Die Hard (2013)

Gangster Squad (2013)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

"Get ready for a more heated debate than any election season. Is Peter Jackson's ambitious, overblown adaptation worth it, or is it a flagrant attempt to create a cash cow out of a children's book? The answer is yes."
