Star Trek: Into Darkness, Great Sequel But Falls Short From The Mark

James "Bubba" Meeks — Thu, 16 May 2013 16:09:35 +0000

Star Trek: Into Darkness is a sequel to J.J Abrams’ 2009 “reboot” of the franchise. I put reboot in quotations because I don’t really consider it a restart of the series. I consider the new films set in their own alternate timeline because one of stamps the series was famous for was alternate realities and time travel. Well it’s just that it’s Star Trek in an alternate timeline and the sequel to the 2009 film is just as impressive as the first but falls a bit short from its predecessor.

Jacob Hall — Sun, 12 May 2013 17:33:58 +0000

The 10 Worst Moms in Pop Culture

Donald Deane — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:27:09 +0000

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal. While some fictional moms might be willing to play the doting matriarch, others engage in twisted mind games, dole out severe corporal punishment and even commit murder most foul. Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Iron Man 3′ Makes All of the Money

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 17:34:41 +0000

Look, we all knew that 'Iron Man 3' was going to make a whole bunch of money and open at number one at the box office and kick the summer movie season off in style. The question was never "Is 'Iron Man 3' going to make any money?", the question was always "What absolutely absurd amount is 'Iron Man 3' going to make in its opening weekend?"

New Movies: 'Iron Man 3′ and That's It

Chris Chaberski — Thu, 02 May 2013 20:05:45 +0000

You've been hearing about it now for months, and it's finally here: the latest installment in Marvel's highly lucrative 'Avengers' film family, 'Iron Man 3.' Apparently all the other movies were a bit scared off, and considering the gigantic openings of the last two 'Iron Man' flicks, it's hard to blame them.

Celebrate the Release of 'Iron Man 3′ By Watching Everything Wrong With 'Iron Man 2′

Mike Moody — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:49:35 +0000

‘Iron Man 3’ opens May 3. That’s less than a week away, people! Are you excited? We’re excited. Although, we wouldn’t be so excited to see ‘Iron Man 3’ if the film had directly followed ‘Iron Man 2,’ which turned out to be one of Marvel Studio’s weaker offerings. Since it’s following ‘The Avengers,’ which [...]

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Pain and Gain' Leads a Slow Weekend

Jacob Hall — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:51:41 +0000

Some will call this a slow weekend, but it may be better to think of it as the calm before the storm. Next week, the summer movie season begins and people are saving their pennies for 'Iron Man 3,' so it's not really surprising that this was an uneventful couple of days at the multiplex. At least the folks behind 'Pain and Gain' can be glad that their film led an otherwise quiet weekend.

In the ’90s baseball classic ‘Rookie of the Year,’ 12-year old Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) really wants to be a major leaguer. The only problem is he’s more of klutz than a diamond king.
