This weekend a foursome of features will contend for your moviegoing dollar, as the summer movie season starts to wind down.

Of course the music can put you in the mood and bring you back to the Disco era as we prepare for our Studio 54 Disco Dance Party At MWP, but how can we forget the movies that delighted our senses from the 70's?!

The summer movie season rumbles into August with the release of an animated sequel about essence-filled tiny blue creatures, plus an action-thriller starring two of Hollywood's biggest names.

This weekend, a beloved comic-book character who isn't Superman or an Avenger returns to screens. On the other end of the cinema spectrum is a coming-of-age comedy set in the glory days of the early 1990s.

If Peeta and Katniss (given the hilarious mashup name Peeniss by fans) are your thing, there will be plenty of angst in the upcoming 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' film.

Britney Spears is in full-on mom mode in her 'Ooh La La' video, co-starring her uber adorbs sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The official "TOO VIOLENT FOR TV???" trailer for 'Sharknado' came out today. What's 'Sharknado?'

Bong Joon-ho's 'Snowpiercer' is opening (at least internationally) right before Neill Blomkamp's 'Elysium,' and it's interesting that two world-class filmmakers are using science-fiction to address the inequalities in the world. The "Occupy Wall Street" movement obviously sparked a lot of imaginations.

You might have guessed from his previous work, but Edgar Wright is a perfectionist, and as Simon Pegg says in this new featurette about 'The World's End,' "you can't argue with perfection."
