Plot Description for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Today Disney released details on the upcoming fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The focus is on that of Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and drops those characters that had been played by Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. In this action-packed tale of truth, betrayal, youth and demise, Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a woman from his past (Penelope Cruz), and he’s not sure if it’s love–or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using ...

NCAA Football 11 Teambuilder Site Now Live
The official Teambuilder website for NCAA Football 11 has officially gone live and can be found here. Last week an incomplete version of the site went up before being pulled down shortly thereafter.

Teambuilder was an undeniable success last year so I'm a little disappointed that more major improvements haven't been made. However the site ...

Toy Story 3 Breaks June Opening Record
Both Toy Story 3 and Jonah Hex exceeded most expectations this weekend, but for completely different reasons. TS3 broke the record for biggest June opening ever while Jonah bombed even worse than anyone had figured it would. For Toy Story 3 most predictions fell in the $85-$100 million range but I felt that the nostalgia factor and appeal to the older crowd would push it over the top and predicted $110 million. Pixar had never opened a film over $70 million so there seemed to be this sense ...
