For better or worse (and it may be a bit of both), I suspect that this week’s episode of ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ may set the course for how the rest of the season will go. The episode itself is pretty decent, but...
There’s a new king of the box office jungle. It’s a big one and just might make things difficult for movies over the next few weeks to defeat it.
What’s a fella gotta do to win an Oscar? That’s the question Leo DiCaprio asks in this week’s biggest new Blu-ray title. The answer ain’t pretty, but it worked for him. Also available this week… honestly, n...
