After dueling with a cancerous brain tumor, 4-year-old Jack Robinson fell to the Force and was commemorated with a Star Wars funeral march.
Paul Walker’s brothers replace their late brother on the set of “Fast & Furious 7”.
I always feel like I’m a hard worker except when Marlon Wayans phones. He’s promoting “A Haunted House 2” (he produced it and stars in it); a TV show, “Second Generation Wayans”; and his viral-video site WhatTheFunny.com.
“Captain America” continued to flex its Marvel muscle at the global box office, as “The Winter Soldier” took in $41.4 million domestically and $60.6 million overseas.
Michelle Thompson vividly recalls attending a festival in Las Vegas and watching 42 straight short films without seeing a single black face on the screen.
Move over, “The Poseidon Adventure.” Fat chance, “Earthquake.” Don’t even try, “Armageddon.”
Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. says the final book of its “Divergent” trilogy will be made into two parts, following the lucrative formula it has used for “Twilight” and is repeating for “The Hunger Games.”

Real-life best friends and comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will co-star in a movie for the first time since 2008’s “Baby Mama.”
