Movie Reviews and Previews On The Dark Knight Rises The following review is spoiler-heavy. Please click away if you haven’t seen the movie. It was a good movie.

Media Manipulation Eat, Pray, GOOP But first... Even though Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna won’t admit it openly, the two broke up a while ago. There were reports however that G was at MDNA in Hyde Park the other night. But no pictures. And she was confirmed to be at Pump in Chicago with Chris By Lainey • Jul 19, 2012 04:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The close cast of The Dark Knight Rises Tracking for The Dark Knight Rises is very, VERY strong. Here we go. Can it challenge The Avengers? Right now they’re saying at least $185 million and it just might give Marvel a go to get to $200 million even though TDKR is not 3D. But why fight? Everyone By Lainey • Jul 19, 2012 12:11 pm
