"Terminator Salvation" Movie Review -- Is the Film a Good Addition to the "Terminator" Franchise?
I was prepared to hate “Terminator Salvation.” How can director McG top the stellar productions of the first two “Terminator” films by James Cameron? Besides, the third movie of the franchise was a forgettable mess.

( 3 / 426 )Robert Downey Jr. seems like a perfect fit to star as Sherlock Holmes. But Jude Law as Watson also mesmerizes. This Guy Ritchie-directed flick already looks like a hit! See for yourself.

Steven Spielberg has been wanting to work on a film about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. Now, DreamWorks has acquired the rights and is bringing a biopic on the slain civil rights leader to the bigscreen.
Spielberg told Variety, "We are all honored that the King Estate is giving us the opportunity to tell the story of these defining, historic events."
"It is our hope that the creative power of film and the impact of Dr. King's life can combine to present a story of undeniable power that we can all be proud of."
No word yet on the casting or the planned release date.
