‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Motion Posters: Meet The Heroes By Angie Han/July 10, 2014 11:45 am EST Whether New York City wants it or not, it’s getting a visit from four very unusual heroes this summer.

‘Violet & Daisy’ Trailer: Friendship Might Keep These Killers Sane By Russ Fischer/April 30, 2013 7:40 pm EST What can we make of Violet & Daisy, which seems to run with the same semi-arthouse tendencies of Hanna or The Professional?

Perhaps the company decided to hold the film until after this year’s opening of The Host....
