Chuck Premiere Gets Encouraging Ratings
Things were not optimistic when it came to having a third season of Chuck. Ratings were mediocre despite the show being beloved by its fan base. That was displayed when the fans basically saved the show by supporting its sponsors. With NBC struggling immensely due to the Jay Leno fiasco they brought the show back even earlier than anticipated and increased the number of episodes ordered for the season. Promotion has been strong with NBC recognizing the potential and knowing they need it to do ...

Avatar Dominates Fourth Straight Weekend
Continuing its extraordinary run Avatar pulled in another $48.5 million this weekend nearly tripling the amount made by any other movie.

New Trailer for Kick-Ass
Knowing they have what very well could be a huge hit on their hands Lionsgate continues to churn out media for Kick-Ass. This is a more well rounded trailer than the first but still proves it will be difficult to get across just how violent and graphic the movie actually is.
