I just saw the ‘Man of Steel’ and the punches were extremely plentiful and POWERFUL.

Mike Sampson — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:09:34 +0000

Earlier this week, we got word that 'Terminator 5' would set up shop at Paramount Pictures, a new home for the franchise after two lackluster films with Warner Bros. But what did that actually mean for the movie? Sure, it had a new home, but does that actually get us closer to seeing 'Terminator 5' in theaters? It turns out it does.

Marti Noxon to Write 'Tomb Raider' Reboot

Damon Houx — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:31:37 +0000

Until recently, the video game character Lara Croft was as well known for her bust as she was for any tomb raiding she took part in. And though her video game franchise 'Tomb Raider' was very popular and spawned two movie spin-offs, the creators were aware that it might be time to not make her such a fetish object for their latest game. That thought process is also being applied to the new movie version of 'Tomb Raider,' as the producers have hired Marti Noxon to work on the script.
