Diehard Indiana Jones fans simply cannot wait until Memorial Day, when the fourth installment of their favorite film series will finally hit the big screen. They’ve waited 19 years since The Last Crusade (the third movie in the franchise) topped the box office, which explains the froth forming at the corners of their mouths. However, […]

The Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) have finally reached a deal that will bring the writers’ 14-week work stoppage to an end.   This would mean the strike would be finished a whole two months earlier than the last time the WGA fought the AMPTP […]

Popular Science has put together a fantastic list of cinema’s least realistic moments—scientifically speaking. And, while the explanations of each entry are highly educational, none of them suck the fun out of watching a ridiculous Michael Bay movie. Because of this extraordinary list, I have come to the conclusion that watching Vin Diesel crush Russian […]

The fourth season of ABC’s Lost premiered last night, but fans may not be as excited as the network expected. They know they only have eight weeks before the network runs out of episodes in the can. As long as the strike continues that doesn’t leave them with very much time to get the answers […]

Despite recent positive developments regarding the WGA strike, CBS Paramount Network TV isn’t holding its breath. Variety reports that the Eye has found a way around the conflict—outsourcing. On Monday, CBS released the details of a deal it has made with Canada’s CTV to begin the production of a new primetime drama series.  A brief […]

Disney’s going for broke this year! The Walt Disney Company, in an effort to drum up more business for their chain of theme parks, has teamed up with world-renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz for a new advertising campaign. Leibovitz, the genius behind John Lennon’s naked Rollingstone cover, will be responsible for bringing Disney’s Year of […]

If you’re gonna make a movie about aliens in space, then you’re gonna need a spaceship. I don’t think anyone would have appreciated Ridley Scott’s make-believe world in his 1979 blockbuster Alien without having those killer spaceships. The set of a Scifi movie makes or breaks the film. And the Science Fiction experts over at […]

Kiefer Sutherland, the man behind 24’s infamous Jack Bauer, was released from Glendale City Jail Monday morning right after midnight. Sutherland was serving a 48-day sentence for his September 2007 arrest for drunk driving and violating probation as this was Sutherland’s second drunk driving offense (his first coming in 2004). After pleading no contest to […]

Mental Floss, the bi-monthly magazine dedicated to making the world smarter and funnier, recently published a post on their blog detailing a list of “Five Peculiar Instruments.” This collection is so unusual that I myself had only previously heard of one instrument on the list: the didgeridoo. Though I knew it originated among the aboriginals […]

Brad Renfro, the actor best known for his roles in films like Apt Pupil and The Cure, was found dead Tuesday morning at his home in Los Angeles. He was 25 years old. Although Renfro had a very public history with alcohol and drug abuse, no official cause of death has been verified at this […]

Another one bites the dust in the continued pattern of celebrities driving drunk—and getting caught. Screenwriter Richard Avary, best known for his work on such films as Pulp Fiction (for which he won an Academy Award) and 2007’s Beowulf, was arrested yesterday on “suspicion of manslaughter and felony driving under the influence.” According to the […]

With the Writers Guild of America strike still raging after a little over two months, concern has grown for the word processors, pens and pencils—perhaps even typewriters—belonging to the striking writers. Are they rusting? Collecting dust? Have their tips dulled or has the gel ink formed a clot above the roller ball? Fear not, friends. […]

Who knew it was hard to get noticed when you’re broadcast to millions? OMG Lists has compiled a, well, list of the “Top 5 Shows The General Public (For Some Reason) Couldn’t Understand.”  Some were cut short in their prime, others never generated enough attention to stay afloat—and all were cancelled by their respective networks […]
