As if you weren’t already aware, the 2011 Academy Awards will air this coming Sunday, February 27th. We’ll be live-blogging the event right here at The Bonus View. We had a blast with our Golden Globes live-blog, and e...
This weekend saw a number of big budget Hollywood movies invade the multiplexes. The thinking is that, with the kids off from school for winter break and most parents having at least Monday off, President’s Day weekend can b...
