Continuing in the countdown to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, today I'm putting Hogwarts up against a magical land of another kind: Narnia. Many of you mentioned that The Chronicles of Narnia is your all-time favorite book series, but can you tell the difference between spells of the wizarding world and jargon from the land beyond the wardrobe?

There's actually talk of making another The Chronicles of Narnia movie? Michael Flaherty, the cofounder and president of Walden Media, says there are plans to bring The Magician's Nephew to the big screen, the sixth book in the C.S. Lewis series (thereby skipping The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy). Even though Flaherty admits the project doesn't have the green light just yet, discussions Read more
After Prince Caspian failed with critics and fans, the Narnia franchise gives it one more college try with Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It's the third installment in the fantasy series which follows the youngest Pevensies, Lucy and Edmund, as they return to Narnia. The country seems to be fine and peaceful without them, so the children question why they've been summoned back at all. Unfortunately, Read more
You can always tell the holidays are upon us when the movie releases kick into high gear. And this December, there are a ton of flicks headed to theaters.

It was another lackluster holiday weekend at the box office, and once again, Little Fockers came out on top. Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller's comedy took in $26.3 million over the weekend, though it was True Grit that really made waves. The film stayed in second place with $24.5 million, but the Western has already grossed more than Oscar winner No Country For Old Men, making it the biggest Read more
"Lazy Sunday" was one of the skits that made Saturday Night Live's digital shorts wildly popular, so I'm kind of surprised it's taken this long for The Lonely Island to put out a sequel. No matter, though, because Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell teamed up yet again for this weekend's episode, with the aptly titled "Lazy Sunday 2." This time around, the guys are off to see Sister Act instead of The Read more
