If there is any wonder that ideas are running out in Hollywood, look no further than the more and more reboot projects currently airing and the others coming down the pike.

99 Homes is a fictional story with elements that were inspired by true stories of people evicted from their homes.

A small, see-through pill that would allow you to remember events, like existing in your mother’s womb that would be impossible to do otherwise. Would you take it? These are the question that Brian Finch (Jake McDorman)…

Finally, the show that many child and adult have been looking forward to seeing this fall airs tonight for the first time. After the success of the movies The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted, ABC had no problem green-lighting the new TV show based on the iconic characters. However, if you are expecting an update…

Christian faith-based movies are becoming more and more common, which is a good thing. However, some movies are not reaching those who really need to see them.
