Street racers couldn’t catch a time-traveling dog and his son at the multiplex this weekend.
Though Disney’s “Need for Speed” was expected to take the No. 1 position at the box office, DreamWorks’ “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” took the lead, with the action film in third place.
The animated movie, about the adventures of a genius dog and the human son he adopted, earned $21.2 million, according to studio estimates released Sunday. Debuting last weekend at No. 2, the 3-D kiddie-jaunt features voices
Finally! It’s happening.
“Jumping the Broom 2” has been green lighted by Our Stories Productions and TD Jakes Productions.
The original movie had an ensemble starring cast — including Laz Alonso, Paula Patton, Loretta Devine, Mike Epps and Angela Bassett.
The film focused on two VERY different families coming together (but not really) for a weekend wedding on Martha’s Vineyard.
The second film will be set in New York City when two very different families come together again for a weekend wed
When it was first announced in 2012 that Grammy-winning sibling-duo Mary Mary had landed a self-titled reality show on WE tv, Christian audiences assumed it would be family-friendly content. Not so much.
Now in its third season, Erica Campbell and Tina Campbell’s drama and controversy-filled lives make the show more suitable for adults, even forcing the stars to forbid their own children from watching.
“They don’t really watch the show. They’ve seen bits and pieces, but you just have to be c

There’s a familiar thread that runs through most of Tyler Perry’s films, for the actor, director and playwright has long embraced religion in his projects.
Whether it’s “Good Deeds,” “Why Did I Get Married?” “The Family That Preys,” or his latest film “The Single Moms Club,” there’s always a life-affirming message about faith, family and friendship.
“Being a man of faith, I don’t want to do films just to make money,” shares Perry, who was

“There isn’t really a controversy,” “Noah” director Darren Aronofsky said just seven days after Paramount Pictures decided to add a disclaimer to moviegoers that the film is not exactly the same story portrayed in the Bible.
In February, Variety ran a story stating that the film may face some rough seas with religious audiences, according to a survey conducted by Raleigh, N.C.-based organization Faith Driven Consumers. Paramount criticized the story as “misleading
You’ve probably heard the controversy about the upcoming Paramount Pictures movie Noah. In the last few weeks, I’ve seen numerous blogs, social media posts, and commentaries on the movie – usually criticizing it and detailing how far it strays from an accurate Biblical portrayal. But I’m one of only a handful of people who’ve actually seen the movie, which is probably why I’m a bit bothered at the condemnations and protests from Christians who have never actually watched it.
That’s why I fel

Early Friday returns suggest the Liam Neeson action-thriller could narrowly prevail over the Christian film, but an upset is still possible.
Liam Neeson‘s latest action-thriller, Non-Stop, has a shot at taking down faith-based offering Son of God at the North American box office this weekend in what’s shaping up to be a relatively close race.

The first half of Son of God features an upbeat and kindly Jesus spreading the good word in familiar, if occasionally over-simplified, biblical phraseology.
Then things get bloody — though not quite as graphic as in 2004′s The Passion of the Christ — when Jesus is seized, beaten and crucified. The production values are modest and the special effects uneven in a repurposed and condensed version (** out of four; rated PG-13; ope

Thursday night is the end for “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.”
After 22 years, the 63-year-old host is leaving NBC’s legendary late-night talk show and handing over the reins to Jimmy Fallon.
The Times recently spoke with Leno backstage at “Tonight” about his departure, his thoughts on comedy and the Conan O’Brien fiasco of four years ago, and what he’ll do next. Here are some excerpts from the conversation:
