What happened to Bryan Singer? Where is the filmmaker who gave us the brilliant ‘The Usual Suspects?’ Where is the director who gave us the fantastic first two ‘X-Men‘ films? Most believe that he started go...
This weekend’s box office results were all over the place. Only two movies finished where they were predicted to, notably ‘Identity Thief’, which climbed back into the top spot after being dethroned by ‘Die...
After a loaded holiday weekend, this one seems pretty dismal in comparison. Perhaps you might want to play some last-minute Oscar catch-up instead of seeing any of this week’s mild releases.
