I personally don’t care for geek sites that post rumors as news. I’d rather spend my time doing something worthwhile (like watching a movie) than trudging through alleged “news” that gets discredited a day later. Unless some...
Having lived just outside Salt Lake City, Utah for nearly ten years now, I’ve noticed that a lot of people here do whatever they want – no matter if they have any education or background in that field or not. The mentality o...
As everyone suspected, ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ dominated the box office for the second weekend in a row. Having raked in more than $261 million in less than 14 days, ‘Dark of the Moon’ is officiall...

Earlier this year, Michael Bay admitted that the 2009 ‘Transformers’ sequel ‘Revenge of the Fallen‘ “was crap” (his words). Of course, he placed most of blame on the Writer’s Strike, not h...
As expected, family-friendly ‘Cars 2’ raced to first place this weekend against crude adult comedy ‘Bad Teacher’. The surprising part? Both outgrossed their weekend predictions by more than $10 million.
