Sony Releases The Interview

After last week's decision to pull the movie from theaters due to threats from North Korea, Sony announced that over 300 independent movie theatres are showing the film on Christmas Day.

While there are a limited number of showings, Sony announced today that the film is available for purchase on Google Play, Xbox, Youtube and Sony's own website. Sony also has plans to distribute the film in other formats but there are no details as of yet. Although The Interview has gotten a couple of bad reviews, the film is now one of the most talked about films of 2014.

'Tis the Season to be Grumpy

The cat that has memed its way into our lives has got a way to spread holiday joy this year. Along with starring in the Honey Nut Cheerios commercial, Grumpy Cat has made it to the big screen starring in Saturday's Lifetime movie event Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever. While, this was not your typical Lifetime movie filled with deception, lies or shocking truths, the movie does stand on its own as Grumpy pokes fun at the flaws during each scene. The movie followed the adventure of Chrystal (played by Megan Charpentier) who wished for a friend in a mall and ended up meeting Grumpy Cat (voiced by Aubrey Plaza). The movie focused on the two bonding and thwarting robbers attempting to steal a million dollar dog from a pet store. Filled with satire comedy, pets, melancholy drama, paintball and action scenes, the movie will give audiences looking for an adorable new take on ridiculousness from a cat who proves that grumpiness goes a long way.

Deep Freeze

ABC's hit show Once Upon A Time left viewers with chills as season 3 wrapped up Sunday night. As Emma and Hook returned home unknowingly with Robin Hood's wife something else followed them. A jar that almost seemed to resemble a genie bottled entered through the portal that took Emma and Hook back in time. Although some viewers were led to believe that the writers of the show were going to travel to a whole new world by introducing characters from Aladdin, they were in for a suprise. Instead, the last minutes of the show teased us with closeup shot of ice blasting from someone's hand, before revealing that the character could possibly be Elsa from the movie Frozen. Since the show's page advertises #Frozeniscoming this gives audiences an idea that storybrooke is going to cross paths with the ice queen. Yet until the next season fans can only guess what her role will be and have one question in mind, is she good or evil.
