Project X gives us some thoughts about the reasons for piracy.
This week is a litmus test for whether we believe Joseph Gordon Levitt can be a Nightwing- / Robin-type superhero. It’s also time for another horror movie that promises to be better than those released in January, but probably no better than any Idle Hands, Ring 3 endeavor.
