Poor James Franco. First, he loses an arm after it got trapped by a boulder; then he hosts the Oscars.

How Luna’s sub-par Amounting to Nothing eventually turns the tablesnew
Amounting to Nothing, the first feature written and directed by San Antonio’s Johnny Luna (and starring some of our city’s top comedians) is one of those projects that seem to be always arriving, with endless email updates and a sole, poor “unofficial trailer.”

Marvels Newest Superhero Movie Wins With Old-Fashioned Action and Heartnew
As much as Captain America: The First Avenger wants to look like old fashioned cinema, complete with a clean-cut, “aw shucks” hero going up against a dastardly villain, it eventually proves to be far from the traditional movies it emulates.

Critic’s Pick: Crazy, Stupid, Lovenew
Forget marriage counseling. If you really want to know the status of your relationship, pay attention to what’s happening under the dinner table during a romantic evening out.

Best Thing About Latest Transformers Is That It Should Be the Lastnew
Textbooks be damned. The use of alternative histories has been such a go-to fad in cinematic curriculum recently that no one should be surprised if impressionable movie-going kids really start believing vigilante superheroes helped earn America a victory in Vietnam (Watchmen) or that young mutants saved the country from nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis (X-Men: First Class).
