Earlier this year, we did a Roundtable about favorite alien invasion movies and TV series. With the belated ‘Independence Day’ sequel arriving this week under heavily negative buzz, let’s turn that topic around and look at some of...
As the publication does every year, The Hollywood Reporter has made a list of the Top 15 box office bombs of 2011. The definition of “bomb” is based on a comparison of each movie’s budget versus its worldwide box office total. How...
When it comes to new releases, there isn’t a whole lot to talk about with this week’s VUDU update. The streaming service is only adding a small assortment of new titles, most of which we’ve already discussed around here this week....
