Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, its a stoner romp and a also a funny send-up on classic action TV series and action films.

Ever seen the documentary “Lost in La Mancha,” which follows Johnny Depp and director Terry Gilliam’s seemingly cursed and ill-fated attempt to film “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote”? His own version of the Quixote legend (taken from Cervantes’ legendary novel) was plagued by every production delay possible, and while it made for a great […]

In this age of procedural crime dramas like “CSI” and “Law & Order: Endless Spinoff Unit,” it’s surprising that “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” chucks all that out the window and is content to rely almost solely on the same faith vs. science debate that Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) […]

The biggest non-holiday Monday ever: $24.6 million 3. The fastest movie to gross $100 million ever: 5 days 4. At the conclusion of the film (SPOILER ALERT!), Batman […]
