Paul Greengrass Won’t Direct Bourne 4
News broke yesterday that will have a big effect on the fourth installment of the Bourne Identity franchise.

Yesterday TNT announced that they have can...

Week 12 Ratings Change Suggestions
While no statement has been made as to whether a roster update for Madden 10 will be delivered this week the hope would be there after taking last week off due to the Thanksgiving holiday. If there isn't one this week that would make it only two updates in the seven weeks slipping into an area where a bad precedent of one update a month could be set. Vince Young is now 5-0 as a starter and while he still hasn't put up huge numbers he had led the team to those victories and was fantastic o...
