The Fred Astaire-Judy Garland classic "Easter Parade" will be coming to Blu-ray for the first time on February 19, 2013. Featuring a wonderful collection of songs from Irving Berlin, the film follows an aging dancer (Astaire) whose relationship has gone sour with his dance and romance partner (Ann Miller), who's gone solo. Enter less polished up-and-comer Hannah Brown (Garland), glad to fill in his ex's shoes. Peter Lawford provides a shoulder for her to cry on when Astaire can't seem to let go of the flouncy bigger star. Mega-talents Astaire and Garland are both in top form here, and deliver some of the songs they're best known for (a feat in itself, given Garland's iconic roles in both "The Wizard of Oz" and "Meet Me in St. Louis," and Astaire's entire run with Ginger Rogers throughout the 1930s at Rko). "Easter Parade" is one of them--rotogravure anyone? "Steppin' Out with My Baby" features.

Wall Street analysts say Lionsgate’s new movie “The Hunger Games” could command a box office of $90 to $100 million when it opens this weekend. The film could eventually accumulate more than $300 million in U.S. ticket sales.

Lionsgate executives won’t dare to utter the word “franchise.
