Look, everyone knows that it's your obligation as a human being to go see a new 'Transfomrers' movie when it comes out whether you want to or not.

’24: Live Another Day’ Review: “7:00 P.M. — 8:00 P.M.”
'24: Live Another Day' has entered its final act and things couldn't get crazier. Last week's episode saw the President of the United States seemingly sacrifice his life to appease a vengeful terrorist. How do you top that? Well, this episode certainly does go for it.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Think Like a Man Too’ Soundly Defeats ‘Jersey Boys’
Unless your movie was named 'Jersey Boys,' this was a pretty excellent weekend at the box office for all parties involved. A new film opened big in the number one spot, last week's champions held on strong, and others continued to perform well further down the charts. But boy, it really kinda' sucks to be 'Jersey Boys.'
‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ Ankle Watch: Harrison Ford Sidelined for Two Months
Last week, the internet couldn't stop talking about Harrison Ford's 'Star Wars: Episode 7' injury. Oh, the jokes! Oh, the memes! There's a certain amount of comedy to be found in an elderly Han Solo injuring his ankle thanks to the door of the Millennium Falcon. But now is the time to quit with the laughter: Ford's injury, while certainly not life-threatening, is bad enough that he won't be able to return to the set for eight weeks.
Weekend Box Office Report: ’22 Jump Street’ Takes ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2′ to School
Everyone expected '22 Jump Street' and 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' to open well, but you won't find many people who expected the raunchy R-rated comedy to open bigger than the family friendly animated adventure. But here we are! Both films opened well, but '22 Jump Street,' like the first film, is has taken a hammer to all expectations.
‘Dumb and Dumber 2′ Poster: Cinema’s Biggest Idiots (and Their Stupid Car) Are Back!
The first 'Dumb and Dumber 2' trailer will officially arrive with '22 Jump Street' next week, but you don't have to wait until then to get a new look at Harry and Lloyd's grand return. A new poster debuted online and it showcases the return of a major character from the original film -- yes, we're talking about the stupid car shaped like a dog.

‘Ghostbusters’ Is Getting Re-Released for 30th Anniversary
The biggest problem with the concept of 'Ghostbusters 3' is the fact that 'Ghostbusters' still very much exists and is pretty much perfect. This fact will be reconfirmed when the original is re-released later this summer as part of the film's 30th anniversary celebration, which will also include a new Blu-ray release.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Maleficent’ Casts a Spell Over the Box Office
We're knee-deep in the summer movie season and the hits just keep on coming. Despite mixed buzz, 'Maleficent' opened very strong, not coming close to the massive numbers of the past few weekends, but certainly holding its own. However, the success of Disney's latest live action effort meant that the weekend's other big release, Seth MacFarlane's 'A Million Ways to Die in the West,' fared less well.

Sure, people online keep on wondering if audiences are getting tired of comic book films, but the box office keeps on saying otherwise.
