It’s getting a tad too easy to predict Hollywood movie fads. We’ve gone through the Twilight phase, and with The Hunger Games being the only successful competition in the young adult adaptation genre of films, expect that bubble to pop soon.

Ever since men in tights beating the snot out of each other became popular (Thanks WWE!), Warner Bros has been looking for a way to pit the two titans of comics against one another.

It’s had two chances so far though, with both of those films never really being blockbuster smashes. Will the third time be the charm, if series creator Chris Carter ever brings the band back for one more gig? Last Updated: August …

What I don’t remember so fondly though, is Knight Rider 2000, Team Knight Rider and the rebooted Knight Rider which starred a version of KITT that was voiced by Val “I …
