[waitingforcorrection: no audio, invalid GUID] It’s Friday, movie day here at the Takeaway; and we’re talking about four of this week’s big releases: the earth vs. aliens action movie “Battle: Los Angeles,” the teen romance re-imagining of “Red Riding Hood,” the newest remake of “Jane Eyre,” and the animated 3D kids movie “Mars Needs Moms.” Our Movie Date co-hosts Kristen Meinzer and Rafer Guzman, who’s also the Film Critic for Newsday, lend us their take on these movies.
