Avatar may be slowly losing its hold of the top box office spot, but the film made Golden Globes history last night.

James Cameron's ambitious movie won the Best Picture Golden Globe last night, joining E.T. as the only sci-fi films to ever earn the honor.

We are praying to the heavens that this story is TOTALLY UNTRUE!

According to a report in the National Inquirer (which really inspires us to take it with a grain of salt), Steven Spielberg and Drew Barrymore are in talks to resurrect their legendary classic E.T.

Supposedly Barrymore and Spielberg have met to discuss a sequel, which will have E.T. returning to Earth to rejoin the now-adult Gertie, a part Drew played 27 years ago.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
