Check out the trailer of FROM PARIS WITH LOVE starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The story follows an embassy employee (Rhys Meyers) as he hooks up with an American spy (Travolta) in Paris.

Synopsis: When a divorced Palestinian woman and her teenage son move to rural Illinois, they [...]

It’s the beginning of a new year and what better way to start it than by a movie review?! On the menu: INKHEART, starring Brendan Fraser, Andy Serkis, Eliza Bennett, Paul Bettany, Sienna Guillory, Helen Mirren, and Jim Broadbent.
