SPEED OF LIGHTNING! ROAR OF THUNDER!

I like the 21st century. We have the technology these days to make just about anything happen, whether of not it’s a good idea. From gene splicing to vaginal reconstructive surgery to a live action Underdog movie. Disney and Spyglass Entertainment are working together to bring the classic, spoofy cartoon Underdog to your local theater, … Continue reading

MORE MUMMY MOVIES

Brendan Fraser has told the press that there is a script for a third Mummy movie, but that he isn’t allowed to announce it. Uhhhh.

STEVE McQUEEN LIVES!
