Fame is an interesting thing. There a lot of different ways that people can become famous. I thought it would be interesting to get your take on what makes someone famous.

I had high hopes for one of the first big blockbusters of the season, "Godzilla". I figured that, after the iconic monster's 1998 outing, that inadvertently turned into a bit of a comedy, that the writers, producers and director would make a point to keep this one suspenseful and action packed, and not veer into cheesy territory.

The 1998 remake was fantastically cheesy, being named "worst" in many categories. Well this summer, Warner Brothers is looking to pummel through theaters with a big budget (reportedly $160 million) special effects heavy blockbuster. Get a first

1987's "Robocop" starring Peter Weller is an 80's classic. From gratuitous violence, to corny dialogue and cheesy at best special effects, it became an instant classic. So does 2014's reboot hold up to the original? I checked it out this past weekend to find out.

A tragic car crash takes the life of one of Hollywood's hottest stars.

Ever since actor Andy Kaufman's death in 1984, rumors that he hoaxed his own death have been going around. This week, those rumors were resurrected when a member of his own family made a shocking statement.
