Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Pain and Gain’ Leads a Slow Weekend
Some will call this a slow weekend, but it may be better to think of it as the calm before the storm. Next week, the summer movie season begins and people are saving their pennies for 'Iron Man 3,' so it's not really surprising that this was an uneventful couple of days at the multiplex.

First Trailer and Poster For Keanu Reeves’ ‘Man of Tai Chi’ are Here

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Oblivion’ Obliterates the Competition
Tom Cruise and science fiction are a powerful combination. Although the opening weekend of 'Oblivion' didn't break any records big or small, it's a more than solid start for a non-franchise, non-sequel, non-reboot. That's a sad statement on the current state of Hollywood, but that's another topic for another day.

‘Star Wars Episode 7′ Will Be Introduced With an Animated Prequel?
After all of the excitement that came with its announcement, things have gotten very quiet on the 'Star Wars Episode 7' front.

SNL Tackles Gun Control Law
SNL hasn't been too political in recent months, but last night's cold open saw the show jump right back into current events, taking on all of the recent movement on gun control laws...or lack thereof. In true SNL fashions, both sides of the debate come out looking pretty moronic.
