Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the Planet of the Apes may be the first film of the summer that has surpassed reasonable expectations and delivered a completely compelling story along with amazing special effects and credible suspense. Make no mistake this is anything but a cheap capitalization on a known franchise but instead works exceptionally well as a standalone movie that will leave audiences hoping that the journey can continue beyond the satisfying conclusion.

Breaking Down the EA Sports Season Ticket
The EA Sports 'Season Ticket' was announced earlier this week and to no surprise the initial reaction towards the subscription plan was largely negative. Though in and of itself the offering may be intriguing and is relatively inoffensive - what it represents for the future is what seems to bother consumers the most.

First Image of Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises
Warner Bros. has released the first photo of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman) in The Dark Knight Rises. Curiously the image was specifically named by the studio as Kyle and makes no reference to the Catwoman name - which many would have expected to see her promoted more as the villainous alter-ego rather than what is shown here. Directed by Christopher Nolan the movie also stars Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman) and Tom Hardy (Bane). Currently filming The Dark Knight Rises is...
