Top Story

Finally we get a weekend that sees more then one big time movie opening for our big summer extravaganza. First of all we have Christian Bale stepping into the role of John Connor as he tries to save what little bit of humanity there is left. Ben Stiller shows us once more that even for those that are not fond of history and knowledge; museums CAN be fun. And last but certainly least there is another mock film. People…please stop going to them so the Wayans’ Brothers can go away.
