The popular stage musical “Les Misérables” based on the Victor Hugo story is returning to the big screen with a new adaptation featuring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and more big name stars. Set in 19th-century France, ”Les Misérables” tells a story of an ex-prisoner hunted by a policeman. His life changes after he begins to work for a factory worker, caring for his daughter.

The trailer shows some clips from the story set to the iconic song, “I Dreamed a Dream” as sung by Anne Hathaway’s character, Fantine.

“Les Misérables” hits theaters December 14, 2012.

So what do you think? Will this adaptation be any good? Do you trust these actors with performing such well-known musical numbers?

Kansas celebrates Father’s Day with Father John Misty

“Happy Father’s Day, bastards.” That’s how Joshua Tillman opened his set at the Granada Sunday evening. Rather than offending the eager audience that chose to spend Father’s Day at a concert, Tillman was greeted by cheers. Lawrence had chosen to celebrate the holiday with a special Father — Father John Misty.

‘Man of Steel’ explores the essence of destiny in Superman’s thrilling theatrical return

‘Man of Steel’ explores the essence of destiny in Superman’s thrilling theatrical return

Superman is one of the most iconic characters in pop culture. Even people who haven’t picked up a comic or seen one of the many films or tv show iterations have heard the name and know the gist of Superman. So director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer’s big challenge with “Man of Steel” was how to present this character in a new way that we haven’t seen before — a way that stays true to what Superman is, but also doesn’t dull or ham it up. Interestingly, in the quest for a new Superman story, Snyder returns to the origin story and amazingly, he succeeds in making a mostly fresh and compelling tale in “Man of Steel.”

Cheap laughs plague the apocalypse in ‘This Is The End’

In a year of big blockbuster action movies and gut wrenching dramas, the comedy world hasn’t even been a contender in the fight for blockbuster dollar signs. Cue Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Their latest installment, “This Is The End,” literally puts Rogen and all of his real-life friends into the movie.
