HUNTINGTON, WV (HNN) – A real-life drama containing more complications than a mega million Hollywood disaster has been playing out on news channels. Despite the imagery that does recall the f/x of cinema, one watching must understand --- this is not celluloid and make believe. These are real people , suffering, hurting, and dying.
Don’t let the drab “Lincoln Lawyer” title fool you --- first, Matthew (We Are Marshall) McConaughey stars and it’s not a period pic. In fact, it’s the present, Beverly Hills , California, and the on-screen Coach Lengyl plays an attorney conducting business out of a Lincoln Town Car. Read more

HUNTINGTON, WV (HNN) - With the Academy Awards complete, the mid-March cinema in-between's take over screens. Award flicks are lessening; it's too soon for Summer Super Hero blockbusters; so Hollywood tosses a mixture. Battle for Los Angeles, though not 3D, dazzles with a special effects flick that's similar to summer fare. Mars Needs Moms (2D and 3D) has a family friendly sci-fic base and Red Riding Hood scares, but only to the limits of PG-13. Read more
