    by Sophia Savage on June 1, 2012

    Career Watch: Will Smith, Still on His Throne?

    by Sophia Savage on May 29, 2012

    Music-TV-film superstar Will Smith did not mark his return to the box office (after a four year hiatus) with a bang, but it wasn't a crash either. "Men in Black III" knocked "The Avengers" off its top spot, and while it's no disaster, it finished the weekend short of expe...

    by Peter Knegt on May 25, 2012

    by Sophia Savage on May 22, 2012
