With the latest ‘Transformers’ already three and a half days into its theatrical run, the film may not be breaking any noteworthy records, but it’s definitely on track to hold the biggest opening of 2011 (so far)...
I hate it when a movie limits its audience to one tiny demographic. It’s no wonder why something like Disney’s ‘Prom’ (from earlier this year) flopped at the box office. The studio made a movie exclusively ...
