The top movie in America is Disney’s Marvel-inspired animated superhero flick ‘Big Hero 6‘. With...

Estimates place the top two titles only $9,000 apart, so neither one can quite claim victory yet. Until the weekend actuals come in later this morning, Jake Gyllenhaal’s thriller ‘Nightcrawler‘ sits...

The weekend’s biggest release is the creepy Jake Gyllenhaal thriller ‘Nightcrawler‘. No, Gyllenhaal doesn’t play the ‘X-Men’ character Nightcrawler here. Instead, he’s a desperate videographer...

The film embodies the reckless hunger for fresh footage in a frightening sociopath who wouldn’t be out of place in a vintage Scorsese movie. In short, it’s a brilliant bit of dark, rousing filmmaking guaranteed to...
