STEP BROTHERS (Columbia Pictures R) Innate charisma coupled with a playful sense of stupidity is what Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly bring to director Adam McKay’s latest stab at comedy, Step Brothers.  McKay directed the two stars in the box-office hit Talladega Nights, and he also teamed with Ferrell to helm the 2004 laugher [...]

MAMMA MIA! (Universal Pictures  PG-13)
HOLLYWOOD OUTBREAK takes a look at MAMMA MIA! THE MOVIE…A film that could be the best worst musical ever made. Check out our review below.

THE DARK KNIGHT (Warner Brothers  PG-13)  Director Christopher Nolan has been a blessing to Batman fans who have wanted the Caped Crusader a bit more complex than the forgettable offerings Joel Schumacher foisted on moviegoers with Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.  With Batman Begins, Nolan painted us an obsessed and determined Bruce Wayne, a [...]
