The inspirational movie "Million Dollar Arm" opens in theaters on May 16. Cast, crew and friends gathered in Hollywood to celebrate the final product that tells the story of desperate sports agent JB Bernstein and his unconventional method of discovering two baseball stars.

Walt Disney Studios Pictures held a contest in conjunction with the release of the film hoping to find a pitcher who could throw over 100 miles an hour. Nine finalists were brought to the Green Carpet Premiere to try their luck. Josh Dahl of Glendale, AZ fell 6 mph short of the 100 goal, however, he did sign a contract with the real-life Mr. Bernstein.

Divergent SoundtrackThe "Divergent" Soundtrack Is Diverse in Great Tunes!

By: Sarah Messer

The much anticipated movie Divergent, which is the first installment of the trilogy, released its first soundtrack on March 11, 2014. The first single released was "Find You" a dance track by Zedd, Matthew Koma, and Miriam Bryant. It is a great opening track and sets the flow for the rest of the album.

If you are a fan of Ellie Goulding then you will really enjoy this because she has three songs (four if you have the deluxe edition) and each song brings something different for a diverse listen. "Beating Heart" is definitely the standout track of the four. Another great standout is "Fight For You" by Pia Mia, and Chance the Rapper. This is a great pop/dance ballad!

There is definitely a variety of artists featured on this album including Snow Patrol, A$AP Rocky, Skrillex and M83. The big difference for this album is that is definitely an up-tempo, dancy album, whereas most soundtracks have leaned more to the indie/folk sound, so you may be surprised when you give it a listen for the first time. Check it out now!

FrozenDisney's Instant Classic "Frozen" Warms Up A Long, Cold, Winter!

By Alyson McHargue

The movie that had families flocking to the movie theater during last year's holiday season has come to Blu-ray and DVD! Disney's "Frozen" has given fans two new princesses to love and has everybody wishing we had a snowman named "Olaf!"

Falling somewhere between "Tangled" and "Enchanted," Frozen does not disappoint. Fun musical numbers will have you humming along and powerful duets between the sisters will leave you stunned and frozen with awe.

The minds of writer/directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee bring to light a story of the unbreakable bond between two royal sisters who must test the limits of true love. After a childhood accident, young princess Elsa, heir to the throne, is ordered to hide her magical powers from the world, but more importantly she must keep them from Anna, her younger rambunctious sister. Anna, confused by her sister's sudden change tries to win her way back into Elsa's heart only making matters worse.

After their royal parents are lost to a horrific storm at sea, Elsa must somehow keep her powers hidden as she takes over the throne, a nearly impossible feat. Anna announces some rather alarming news at the coronation ball and Elsa looses her cool (quite literally), fleeing the kingdom and leaving a terrible winter storm in her wake.

The true adventure begins when Anna leaves the kingdom and sets out to bring Elsa home. Along the way, Anna makes some rather snowy, but hilarious friends who help her on her way to finding Elsa. Will she reach her sister in time to save the kingdom from its chilly fate??

Pairing the incredible voices of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel with some truly stellar animation, this wintery musical is sure to leave you warm and fuzzy during any season!

Bonus material on the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack includes behind-the-scenes looks at the making of Frozen, Demi Lovato's Music Video to "Let it Go," the original theatrical short, "Get A Horse" and more!
