Let’s apply that premise to movies. Is there a particular movie you wish could be erased from memory so you’d never have to think about it again? What movie would the world be better off if it never existed? Yes,...

In today’s edition of Monster Madness, we’ll visit two of the tournament’s oddest match-ups. How’s this for improbable?

That’s not to say that final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series isn’t still raking in cash, because it is. The movie earned another $19.5 million domestically and another $32.4 million...
