In 1843, Charles Dickens published a little novella called A Christmas Carol, concerning the fun-hating miser Ebenezer Scrooge seeing the error of his ways after being visited by three spirits on the night of one fateful Christmas Eve. Although Dickens could never have known it back then, his classic holiday novella’s status in the public domain would one day give Hollywood the gift that keeps on giving. There have been over a hundred screen adaptations of Dickens’ holiday classic, from The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992) to Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol (2009) which starred Jim Carrey as creepy 3D animated motion capture Scrooge....

Every Star Wars movie is a snapshot of a critical point in the struggle for the galaxy. From the plot to destroy the Death Star to taking on the back-from-the-dead Emperor Palpatine, every movie is a day-in-the-life portrayal of the ongoing battle. As great as they are (yes, the sequel trilogy included), the films aren’t able to dive as deep as we’d like into the Lucas lore. Every movie goes big, but they don’t quite reach every corner of the galaxy....

Age is an inexorable deal. A non-negotiable lifetime contract, it inescapably ticks on from cradle to grave. The modern outlook on age is not only more liberal in how industries view aging employees, but due to advancements in technology and medicine, an increasing number of people have turned to methods that defy the natural maturation process. Superficially, the elderly have never looked younger; at the age of 76, Dolly Parton (with her Botox, lip-filler, various tucks, lifts, and cosmetic alterations) looks 56, although the miles she has on the clock are suggestive that she should look more like a wrinkled Ronnie Wood than a smooth J-Lo, who herself has conquered age....

While there is no sign of a fun Batman being released from the Warner Bros. jail of ideas (outside of animation and LEGO adaptations), some fans have caught on to a few subtle fun cues that may have slipped by executives in this most recent film adaptation....

Hailing from Hollywood royalty — his father is actor James Brolin, and his stepmother is industry icon Barbra Streisand — it’s no wonder that Josh Brolin would follow in his parents’ footsteps and become a renowned actor in his own right.
