Weekend Wrap-Up
Happy Halloween, everybody. The weekend of ghosts and ghouls is upon us, and because Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, it's almost a nothing weekend at the box office.

How Well Do You Know: 101 Dalmatians
Disney has created all kinds of animal films, but none has a villain quite like 101 Dalmatians. The film features 101 spotted stars who get all kinds of help along the way. Add in Cruella De Vil and her bungling sidekicks Horace and Jasper (along with more English speech than one can shake a stick at) we have some crazy activity. What isn’t to like?

Amazing Race Recap
Whatever will we do without someone saying something completely ignorant each week? We'll find out.

How Well Do You Know: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
In terms of box office, one film reigned supreme during the summer of 2009. This Michael Bay epic earned over $100 million more than the next most popular film. During its first week on home video, over 7.5 million copies were sold. Clearly, people love transforming robots, even if they have to suffer through a lousy film to watch them. So, tell us. How well do you know Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?

Review: Saw VI
Saw VI reaffirms the notion it's the even-numbered installments of this stubborn horror series that make it nearly unwatchable.

Trailer Hitch
This week: Some peeps take Rock, Paper, Scissors a bit too seriously, Benicio del Toro channels his inner Teen Wolf and Jason Bourne has a name change.

How Well Do You Know: Batman: Arkham Asylum
Timed perfectly on the heels of The Dark Knight, the second biggest film of all time, Arkham Asylum disproved the notion that Batman video games had to suck. In fact, if you love beating up random thugs, this is arguably the greatest video game of all time. Thanks to a magical script by Paul Dini, the story is every bit as memorable as the gameplay. How well do you know Arkham Asylum?

Are You With Us?
Despite a very long, well-publicized shoot in London, England (15 months, with the whole production itself lasting two-and-a-half years), no one seemed to know what Eyes Wide Shut was actually about.

Hollywood Psych
The fundamental question surrounding Michael Jackson's This Is It has been answered rather banally.

A-List
I had to wonder what other unlikely actors could, but shouldn't, take on the mantle of Ebenezer Scrooge, and came up with a list of five actors who really shouldn't come anywhere near this classic.

How Well Do You Know: Singin' in the Rain
1952's Singin' in the Rain, voted #1 in AFI's list of top musicals, is a comedic representation of an exciting new time in Hollywood's growth. Although this movie received a lukewarm reception initially following its release, it is now widely considered a cinematic masterpiece, showing up on many "best of Hollywood" lists. How well do you know Singin' in the Rain?

How Well Do You Know: Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Paul Blart: Mall Cop did unexpectedly great business for Columbia, spending two successive weekends atop the domestic box office and raking in an astounding $146.3 million Stateside when all was said and done. There's just something about a fat comedian in a police uniform I guess. How well do you know Paul Blart: Mall Cop?

Friday Box Office Analysis
The latest adaptation of the Dickens novel, this time given the 3-D computer animated treatment, opened Friday to $9 million.

How Well Do You Know: Lost, Season 1 Part 1
It’s groundbreaking, it’s unforgettable, and it all started here. On September 22, 2004, ABC premiered a sci-fi adventure show about the survivors of a plane crash on a seemingly deserted island. Once they landed on the island, however, the survivors realized they were not alone, running into polar bears, men with fake beards, and a metallic-sounding monster that kills randomly. It’s a show that surprised and has people going nuts for its encyclopedic references and information, but…How Well Do You Know Lost: Season 1?
