Critics describe the adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel as "frenzied," "audacious" and "relentlessly entertaining." Find when and where it's showing in and around Snellville.
The premise, courtesy of the film's official website: “The Great Gatsby” follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton).

Here's a trailer and reviews of the movie starring Harrison Ford and Chadwick Boseman.
There are people around who remember when Jackie Robinson entered major league baseball by joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. My father was one of them. As someone for whom ability trumped race, Daddy talked about Robinson's skills as a first baseball, a hitter, and most of all, his incredible speed and wily base stealing. He also mentioned the vile, violent reaction many people had to a black man desegregating white baseball. Academy Award winning screenwriter Brian Helgeland directs "42," a baseball biopic about Jackie Robinson during his first season with the Dodgers. The subtitle is "The Story of an American Legend," and it rings true, because Robinson was. He was recruited by Dodgers owner Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) and told not…

As fans everywhere gear up to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 at midnight, Patch takes an inside peek at the most successful movie franchise ever made.
I sat in Dumbledore’s chair (uncomfortable). I flipped through Muggle Law & Order on his bookshelf (actually a phone book). I even picked up a coin at the Gringott’s Bank (surprisingly light). There, now that we have that out of the way and I can expect death threats from die-hard Potter fans: On the eve of the final—yes, final!—chapter of the most successful film franchise ever made, I’d like to relay my adventures on set at the filming of both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Tomorrow’s Part 2 release is sure to be the action-packed finale that fans are desperately hoping for, from what I saw.
