'Trainwreck': Amy Schumer crashes onto our screens
A little over two hours — that's how long the viewer must spend in the company of Amy Schumer as Amy in "Trainwreck," for which she also wrote the screenplay. That's a lot of Amy, as the "Amy, Amy, Amy!" of the Japanese title rightfully suggests. For Schumer fans, it's a real treat. For those with less than moderate enthusiasm for the raunchy comedienne, it can get just a wee bit taxing.

Daniel Radcliffe gets devilish in 'Horns'
There are few actors who can enjoy the kind of success that Daniel Radcliffe has enjoyed at his age. At 10, he became the face of the multibillion-dollar "Harry Potter" franchise, which became a cultural phenomenon. As the series drew to a close in 2011, the young British actor was faced with two dilemmas: shaking off the typecasting of his initial success and making the jump from child to adult actor — all without magic.

Acting brings magic to otherwise flat script
"Horns" is a stewing, blood-infused cauldron of atmospheric horror — and you can expect no less from director Alexandre Aja whose track record so far is frightening ("Piranha 3D," "High Tension"). With "Horns," however, Aja has ventured into adaptation territory (up till now, he had mostly worked on remakes) with Joe Hill's bestselling novel of the same name (Hill is the pen name of Stephen King's son Joseph). Aja has also brought in A-lister Daniel Radcliffe, who must be intent on shedding his Harry Potter image by taking on any role that doesn't involve wands or quidditch.
