There’s no funny quip or snarky remark that I can type that does a better job of encapsulating how I feel about this trailer for upcoming Rapture-thriller Left Behind, than Nicolas Cage’s face on this movie’s poster.

It seems that while starring in David O. Russell’s American Hustle, Jeremy Renner developed a taste for portraying real-life individuals with great hair involved in covering up wrong-doings a few decades ago.

And that definitely appears to be the case with his and Carlton “Lost” Cuse’s upcoming FX vampire series, The Strain. And if there …
When you have massive success with a movie where Wolverine teaches a giant robot to box, you better find some way to up the ante on your next few cinematic endeavours. Real Steel director Shawn Levy totally didn’t do that with his Google-based Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn comedy, The Internship, but he may just make up for it with his latest, This Is Where I …
Cooking for your family is one of the most important responsibilities in daily life, …
