Last year, everybody were in shock after reports came out that Owen Wilso nwas rushed to the hospital. What was more surprising was the news that it was due to an apparent suicide attempt. How could someone as successful as he is even think of taking his own life? Here was a guy who was [...]
The Easter egg-hunting season may be over but it is never a bad time to look back at the biggest films that lay the biggest eggs in Hollywood box office history. These films were supposed to be huge blockbusters. They were highly anticipated, only to go down sinking like the Titanic. At least the Titanic [...]
While I love many film trailers, a lot of the upcoming releases have been coming up short lately in terms of anticipation factor. We are throwing certain films that are not even worth mentioning. What we are going to discuss are two films that thought would have great trailers but end up being nothing more [...]

Ah, there lies in the rub. How could the producers proceed with advertising the film. Will [...]
Sometime last year, I wrote a post regarding the trailers I really liked, thus piquing my interest on those particular films. This year, I planned on making this year’s answer to that article. After all, another installment of great trailers would not hurt anyone, particularly me. However, when I thought about the trailers I have [...]
If there is one comedy film that I will be anticipating in the next few months, hands-down that has to be Tropic Thunder. Of course, you would then ask what film is that. It is not the comedy film that has been a huge hit lately. It does not have the Judd Apatow name attached [...]
The animated film Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who became the year’s biggest blockbuster yet as it came stomping to the cash register with a gigantic $45 million take over the weekend.
