Dark Shadows: Kitchen Sink Night At Collinwood

1 = Summary Court Martial

If there is one thing I can't stand, it is a film that spoils anything remotely entertaining in the trailer.  "Dark Shadows" is certainly guilty of this, but that's not the only problem with the film.

Why Marvel's The Avengers Isn't As Great As You Think It Is

By now I'm sure you're painfully aware of Marvel's The Avengers shattering box office records around the world, as its unholy success is shoved down our throats on an hourly basis from every known media outlet.
