Five superheroes that don't need powers to kick ass

Kick-Ass starts tomorrow and, based on the early buzz and the trailers, it's going to, well, kick ass. In case you've somehow managed to ignore it, it's a film about superheroes that don't have powers -- just a desire to do some good and too little common sense not to dress up in outlandish costum ...

The Karate Kid and The A-Team: Ten films that shouldn't ever be remade

​ We don't know if you've noticed or not, but Hollywood has a knack for remaking films (brazenly displaying its pronounced lack of creativity).

Fancy Tiger Holiday Handmade: Where do you go when it's done and gone? Here's where!

The ten highest-grossing movies of 2010, and what that says about America

We'll take it.​The top grossing movie of 2009 was, of course, Avatar, and this year the title goes to Toy Story 3.

ThunderCats's new look: Why so serious, Lion-O?

​Once upon a time, cartoons were silly. Consider the original Batman series of the 1960s, a show so jokey it had villains named both The Laugher and The Giggler and starred a not-exactly-ripped-but-still-wearing-spandex Adam West playing the world's most block-headed straight man -- even Tim B ...
