Empire has just revealed a poster for the DisneyNature flamingo documentary, Crimson Wing. It's got me kind of curious to see how March of the Penguins will look with awkward, pink birds instead of penguins, but at the same time, knowing Disney's conservative, pro-bird slant, y... / Continue →

Maybe I'm just a sucker for seeing a man in a bird suit fall to his death and an 11-year-old girl get shot in the chest and murder a room full of men, but these new clips from Kick-Ass are looking so good I might have to eventually give a ticket vendor monetary compensation in ... / Continue →
