This Week In DVD & Blu-Ray: Knight And Day, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Going The Distance, And More By Adam Quigley/Dec. 1, 2010 8:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. My write-up of the first season of Parks and Recreation amounted to little more than a prediction that the show would hit its stride in Season 2. Lo and behold, that’s exactly what happened. Following a nearly identical pattern to The Office, Parks and Rec struggled through a forgettable introductory 6-episode season that mainly served to set up the characters and find the show’s rhythm....

Watch The First Five Minutes Of ‘Lockout’: Guy Pearce Is A Smartass, Then A Badass By Angie Han/April 10, 2012 6:00 am EST Lockout doesn’t boast the most original premise in the world — it’s perfectly obvious why it’s drawn comparisons to both Taken and Escape From New York — but there’s at least one good reason to keep an eye out for this film, and that’s star Guy Pearce.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Looking At Lead Role In Action Thriller ‘Captive’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 9, 2011 1:49 pm EST Arnold Schwarzenegger’s comeback is really back on track. Seriously. His first stab at a post-politics return to acting was hamstrung by an embarassing and irresponsible paternity situation.
