‘Jersey Shore’ Star Arrested
In news that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, a cast member from the much derided television guilty pleasure ‘Jersey Shore‘ was arrested today, just another in a long line of the show’s stars to do something stupid and find themselves in handcuffs for it.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Madagascar 3′ vs ‘Prometheus’
It’s difficult to imagine two more different films going head-to-head at the box office. However, by appealing to completely different audiences, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ and ‘Prometheus‘ both managed to emerge from the weekend as big winners, making this the first weekend in months where two new major releases opened strong.
The ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Video Game is Online!
We all think ‘Wreck-It Ralph,’ Disney’s animated homage to video games, look completely awesome, right? You’ve watched the trailer, so now it’s time to play the game! Yes, it’s a video game based on a movie about video games. It’s okay, that hurt our brains a little, too.
The Jim Henson Company Making a ‘Frog and Toad’ Movie
It’s an announcement that will surely have thousands of childhoods buzzing with nostalgia: the Jim Henson Company will be taking Arnold Lobel’s ‘Frog and Toad’ book series to the big screen as an animated movie.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Conquers
The box office can be a funny thing. Last weekend, ‘Men in Black 3‘ made $55 million and was considered a disappointment. This weekend, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ pulled in $56 million and it’s considered a roaring success. As bizarre as that sounds, it all makes sense when you look at the details.

Trailer for ‘Tetris: The Movie’ is Fake, Thank God
Can you blame anyone for thinking that Hollywood is cooking up a movie based on the video game Tetris? It may not have a story or any characters, but it’s a recognizable brand name and sometimes, it seems like that’s all that matters. The following trailer is a joke from a group of talented filmmakers, but we worry that a producer or two may see this video and get the wrong idea.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Men in Black 3′ Takes a Dive
It took four weeks for another film to dethrone ‘The Avengers‘ from the top of the box office, but that dethroning occurred with a whimper, not a battle cry. ‘Men in Black 3‘ arrived on the scene and proved that advance hype and high tracking are abstract concepts that don’t always reflect reality. $55 million isn’t an opening that’ll have executives committing seppuku, but for a film that was exp
RIP: Janet Carroll, the Mom From ‘Risky Business’
Not every actor can be a star, but plenty of them can become one of “those guys.” While we may not know the performer’s name, we certainly recognize their face. We know them from somewhere and that’s enough. Seeing a familiar working actor pop up here and there is just plain comforting. Jane Carroll was a lifelong member of the “those guys” club. She passed away on Tuesday after a lengthy battle w
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Avengers’ Sinks ‘Battleship’
‘Battleship‘ was supposed to be the film that nudged ‘The Avengers‘ out of the number one spot at the box office, but instead you can just go ahead and insert your own “You sank my battleship!” joke here. ‘The Avengers’ didn’t cling to the top spot for the third week in a row, it dominated the top spot for the third week in a row, taking in another $55 million for a grand domestic total of $457 mi
Will Smith Performs the ‘Fresh Prince’ Theme on BBC
Will Smith may be the biggest movie star in the world, but his millions of fans will never let him forget his humble beginnings as the star of ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ While in England to promote the release of ‘Men in Black 3,’ Smith was coerced into performing the show’s iconic theme song on ‘The Graham Norton Show.’ And yeah, it’s kind of awesome.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Avengers’ Destroy ‘Dark Shadows’
Poor Barnabas Collins never stood a chance. Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows‘ found itself clobbered to death over the weekend courtesy of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who rode a perfect cocktail of hype and stellar word-of-mouth to an unprecedented second weekend. It’s no longer a question of whether or not ‘The Avengers‘ will be one of the biggest movies of all time, mainly because it already is one of t
