The 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards will take place on February 8, 2015.

When Earth is taken over by the overly-confident Boov, an alien race in search of a new place to call home, all humans are promptly relocated, while all Boov get busy reorganizing the planet. Steve Martin is the Boovs' rather dense leader, Captain Smek. And when one resourceful girl, Tip (Rihanna), manages to avoid capture, she finds herself the accidental accomplice of a banished Boov named Oh (Jim Parsons). The two fugitives realize there's a lot more at stake than intergalactic relations as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime (good thing they have a flying car).





"Home" will be in theaters on March 27. #HomeMovie

It has been announced that Steve Martin will receive the 43rd AFI Life Achievement Award. Details at AFI.com.
