March 12, 2012 I'm sure we all have a favorite story or two about our adventures at the drive in theater. I could tell you a few of my own as well. Have you ever wondered how the drive in movie theater started? The post below gives you a good history, and it may even bring back a few memories of yours
The big budget update of ‘The Lone Ranger’ won’t hit theaters until the summer of 2013. But the first official images of the film were just released on producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s Twitter account, offering a peek at Johnny Depp as one of the most iconic sidekicks in pop culture history.
You’ve likely seen the ubiquitous Redbox movie and game-rental kiosks all over the place. And if you haven’t yet tried them out, here’s a good reason to do so: the company is enticing you with a pair of freebies.
Hollywood is a strange, strange place. While most of the time you’re rewarded for the glitz and glamor, sometimes packing on the pounds and the ugly can earn you an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award, or even all three (We’re looking at you Charlize Theron.)
The 2012 Oscars managed to include the expected and shocks all at the same time. Odds on favorite, ‘The Artist’, won five awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Jean Dujardin and Best Director for Michel Hazanivicius. But ‘Hugo’ gave it a run for its money, also bringing home five awards (though none in the major categories).
Every year, when the Oscar nominations are announced, a considerable amount of time is spent debating who was snubbed. But for every film that was expecting to get nominated and didn’t, there’s a film that no one was expecting to get nominated and did. This is the story of those films. The movies you’ll look back on and wonder exactly how the heck it ever got nominated for an Oscar.
The American Film Institute created a list of the 100 most romantic movies ever made. Because their list spans a good 7 or 8 decades, and doesn’t go past the ’90s, it doesn’t include a lot of our favorites. The movies that shaped our ideas of romance.
Years of action hero-ing have caught up to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, who found themselves recuperating from surgery in the same hospital this week. Quick, somebody see if that’s Bruce Willis in room 201.
When the trailer of ‘Bourne Legacy’ begins, we get a shaky glimpse of Jeremy Renner. The actor, who’s taking over the ‘Bourne’ series for Matt Damon is identified as Kenneth Kitson, and he is looking quite the worse for wear.
For Beach Boys fans, the story of drummer Dennis Wilson has long been one of rock’s most tragic tales, but to the larger record-buying public, his tumultuous life and untimely death has remained largely unknown. That looks set to change next year with ‘The Drummer,’ a biopic starring Aaron Eckhart as Wilson and Vera Farmiga as his onetime paramour (and former Fleetwood Mac keyboardist) Christine McVie.
Just as watching a fat rodent sticking his head out of a hole has become tradition every February 2nd, so has watching the movie that takes it’s name — it’s Groundhog Day!
The Bill Murray film is a classic and loved by millions, especially everyone watching it right this very moment on TV (it’s playing SOMEWHERE in the world) but here are ten odd facts about the movie that you probably didn’t know.

While his non-pirate movies might not always be big hits, Johnny Depp is certainly a big hit with the public, as evidenced by the fact that he captured the title of “America’s favorite actor” for the second year in a row.
