Oh what a difference a poster makes… While I certainly enjoyed Bridesmaids, I immediately found myself all Melissa McCarthy’d out.

In fact, it’s so …
Up, up and away! After a solid performance last week, it looked like nothing could stop the Man of Steel from ruling the box office. Well scratch that, because the big blue boy scout didn’t just drop, but dropped two places after the weekend estimates came in from the North American box office. What force on earth could be powerful …
