We know Disney bought the Star Wars empire. Then, we learned what a good guy George Lucas was when he announced he’d be donating that $4 billion to educational charities. The final piece of that equation has always been what happens to the Star Wars universe in terms of movies, video games, TV shows — [...]
Disney has agreed to purchase LucasFilm for a paltry $4.05 billion. That’s the headline news in a nutshell. But the sound you hear is me hyperventilating and trying to wrap my noggin’ around this. For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next,” said [...]

Sorry, Cool World. The movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis, the man responsible for Back to the [...]
Disney’s new movie, Wreck-It Ralph looks like Toy Story for kids who grew up with video games and Tron instead of action figures and cowboys. I’d have more faith this would be worth seeing when it comes out in November if it were from Pixar and not Disney, but that could be a minor worry, [...]
Damn, everyone knew The Avengers was going to open strong, but $200 million strong? Bested the previous opening weekend record by $30 million?
