“The City in the Woods,” “Battle in my Backyard” or “Forest Fighters.” Any of those would have been better titles for “Epic,” a dull animated adventure that’s anything but.

(From left) Chris Pine is Kirk, Zoe Saldana is Uhura and Zachary Quinto is Spock in “STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.”
Four years ago, J.J. Abrams reinvigorated the “Star Trek” franchise with a dynamic, fun take on Kirk, Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew.
While not marking as significant a step to boldly go where few science fiction sequels have gone before, Abrams makes a very entertaining one with “Star Trek Into Darkness.” More

Oz (James Franco) takes flight with Glinda (Michelle Williams) in “Oz: the Great and Powerful.”
The true wizard in “Oz the Great and Powerful” is Director Sam Raimi for proving to be more than up to the task of crafting a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” with a dazzling, magical effort that proves a worthy companion piece to one of the most beloved films of all time. More

BILL NIGHY (center) stars as General Fallon and JOHN KASSIR as General Fallon’s Small Head in New Line Cinema’s and Legendary Pictures’ action adventure “JACK THE GIANT SLAYER,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
Director Bryan Singer (“X2”) still seems to be chasing the greatness that’s eluded him since 1995’s “The Usual Suspects,” his second film and modern cinematic classic. His latest, “Jack the Giant Slayer,” is another well-intentioned, yet boring adventure that never climbs the heights to reach its full potential. More

2013 FF- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has become arguably the biggest athlete turned actor and has become as bankable a movie star for Hollywood as he’s been a moneymaker for Vince McMahon’s WWE.
There’s a reason he’s the current WWE champ a decade after regularly competing in the promotion. By 2007, Johnson was shifting away from straight-up action films and branching out to Walt Disney family-friendly material.
Following the successful of his “The Gameplan,” Johnson teamed once again with Disney looking to capture the same magic with a remake of the 1975 hit “Escape to Witch Mountain.” More

John Bramley/Warner Bros. Pictures
Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich) and Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert).
With its theme of forbidden love and witches, “Beautiful Creatures” is practically the illegitimate offspring of “Harry Potter” and “Twilight.” The adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s “Castor Chronicles” is well-suited to be the next big franchise. It’s got all the ingredients, but there’s not enough magic to put you under its spell. More
