HUNTINGTON, WV (HNN) – A real-life drama containing more complications than a mega million Hollywood disaster has been playing out on news channels.

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
