10 Looong Movies That Are Worth Sitting Through
Avatar made $73 million at the box office this weekend, which means a lot of people sat through two hours and 42 minutes of blue CGI people. That's pretty lengthy by today's standards, but it's not like the film isn't deserving of a few hours out of your day. As I mentioned before, the special effects alone sold me on it.

It's that time of year again! The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films handed out the Saturn Awards last night to honor the best actors, movies, and TV shows in these genres.

Box Office: Audiences Still Lovin' Marley
After breaking Christmastime records last week, audiences once again put the adorably naughty pup in the top spot at the box office over the weekend. Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, earned an estimated $24 million "for a cume of $106.5 million in only 11 days."
