The movie, which features the catchy tunes of Abba, will have the lyrics to all the songs along the bottom of the screen. Has that ever been done before - in a theatrical release? I can’t […]

"Poltergeist" Remake Grabs Writers

Russell Crowe to Play Comedian Bill Hicks?

I don’t even know who Bill Hicks is (feel free to tell me in the comments section!), but the idea of Russell Crowe playing a comedian…?
