So, that being said I took my niece who adores Niall, Harry, Liam, Louis and Zayn and my daughter who somewhat stomachs them to see a screening of their concert-documentary film surprisingly directed by Morgan Spurlock.

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, Rebecca Budig Writers: Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker Director: Courtney Solomon Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: August 30, 2013 Given most of its nearly wall-to-wall action, the primary reason for the existence of GETAWAY would seem to be a series of car stunts and crashes that are fairly breathtaking. Furthermore, while a lot of films are shot in Bulgaria, GETAWAY is actually set there, which gives us some fresh cityscapes that haven’t been photographed into monotony and also allows at least non-Bulgarian viewers to suspend disbelief about some police procedures (or lack […]Read On »

Instead of having people the viewers have heard of who are learning to dance for the first time, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE have extraordinarily talented unknowns working solo, in pairs and as a group.
