I’ve been pretty vocal about my fandom of the show turned movie, which opens June 3, and you can read about that at these links. But I’m just one person. What about the legions of people who don’t like Entourage for its seat-of-your-pants lifestyle and language?

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Featurette: How The Incredible New Quicksilver Scene Was Done By Ethan Anderton/May 30, 2016 12:00 pm EST X-Men: Apocalypse took the top spot at the box office this holiday weekend, pulling down just over $65 according to Box Office Mojo, blowing away Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass, which is doing nowhere near the big business of the first film.

This ‘Finding Dory’ Clip Will Make You Totally Sick By Jacob Hall/May 26, 2016 12:00 pm EST I was as hesitant about a sequel to Finding Nemo as anyone else, but the closer we get the release date of Finding Dory, the more optimistic I get regarding this whole film.
