March 14, 2012 Is it just me, or does it seem as if Taylor Swift, among others, is spending an inordinate amout of time courting the movie industry? The newly released "The Lorax" features the voice of the multi-talented Miss Swift and now the movie world awaits her musical contribution to "Hunger Games".
Dolly Parton is the muse in a new documentary that’s set to debut at the 2012 Nashville Film Festival, which runs the week of April 19-26. Though the appropriately titled ‘Hollywood to Dollywood’ might sound like a documentary about the Queen of Country Music herself, it actually chronicles the adventures of two identical twin brothers, Gary and Larry Lane, who are hoping to get Parton to star in their screenplay ‘Full Circle.’
March 1, 2012 Talk about branching out! The undeniably talented Taylor Swift is adding movies to her already long line of accomplishments. She's not actually acting on screen per say, but she is acting nonetheless.

It's really cool to see country artist's songs being used in the movies more and more. It's especially cool that one of my favorite guitar slingers, Keith Urban, has a song in one of the biggest movies from the past weekend. And besides that, Rob likes it. Don't let that scare you away.
Ticket prices for movies recently hit an all-time high of almost $8.00, and with the current state of the economy, that’s meant a lot of people don’t head to cineplexes as often as they used to.
But that doesn’t mean folks aren’t seeing movies — they’re just finding more cost-effective ways to do it.
January 11, 2012 I can remember a time when putting a country song in a movie would have been unthinkable. My, how times have changed.
Billy Currington is having a moment right now — he’s scored seven consecutive number one singles, and his latest hit, ‘Love Done Gone,’ is well on its way to making it eight. Clearly, people can’t get enough of hearing him on the radio.
You can hardly blame the guy for wanting to find out if they’ll buy tickets to see him on the big screen.
The ‘Transformers’ are back for two and a half hours worth of action in ‘Dark of the Moon,’ the third movie in Michael Bay’s mega-blockbuster franchise.
Reviews for the movie have been a bit on the negative side; but with it already pulling in $13.5 million on Tuesday, it’s looking to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, movie of the year.
As expected, ‘Green Lantern’ was the number one movie at the box office this weekend, taking in a slightly underwhelming $52.7 million, according to weekend estimates.
That number marks the lowest opening for a superhero movie this summer, behind ‘Thor’ ($66 million) ‘X-Men: First Class’ ($56 million).
In case you didn’t know from the 100 degree temperatures, it’s Summer time!! For me that means all 3 of my children are at home, for the most part, 24 hours a day. This can be good and bad.
Some of the things I love about Summer include staying in bed until after 8 a.m. Granted, I usually don’t sleep past 6:30, but I do get to lie in bed and snuggle with my babies and try to catch an extra 10 minutes of sleep while they watch cartoons! I also love going swimming. It’s one of the only ways to let the kids expend some major energy while keeping cool and it also usually also guarantees a really good naptime!
Aliens are creeping back into theaters this week with the release of J.J. Abrams' hotly anticipated 'Super 8,' about a group of kids who captures a mysterious train crash on their video cameras in 1979.
Will this be summer's next big hit? Or are audiences cool on alien-invasion movies?
Check out the trailer after the jump, then get a list of movies still playing in theaters, to help plan your weekend at the movies.
