Video game adaptations have historically been pretty bad. With atrocities like “Super Mario Bros.”, The “Resident Evil” franchise, and more mediocre fare like “The Prince of Persia”, studios just never seem to get them right. “Need for Speed” is actually in a unique position to succeed. It gives director Scott Waugh the opportunity to create something without having to worry about crafting a faithful adaptation. At the end of the day, as long as the movie has fast cars and street racing, it’s as faithful as it’s going to get. With the only other street racing franchise being the “Fast & Furious” flicks, there’s certainly room for “Need for Speed” to become a successful property. But enough of my rambling; how did the film actually turn out? Honestly, it was surprisingly decent.

The good news? Miranda Lambert has completed her much anticipated, though somewhat overdue, fifth album. The bad news? You have to wait until June 3 for "Platinum," a full two years and eight months since her last LP.

Why the wait? Lambert released an album with her Pistol Annies trio in 2013 and extended her tour. She also decided she was at a place in her career where she'd earned the time to fulfill her entire creative vision, and it simply took time.

Long before movies could talk, the people on the big screen were setting trends and styles for the rest of us. Even today, there's a sense of curiosity about what the stars are doing behind the gates of those great old mansions. If only we knew somebody who could get us in the door for a peek.

It’s been a pretty slow season at the movies lately. We’re in kind of a lull where only about one major studio film is released per weekend, although things will start picking up in the coming weeks. Thankfully, “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” is an extremely fun and vibrant adaptation of the classic Peabody’s Improbable History cartoon segments that will leave audiences of all ages giddy and excited for more adventures.

The shirtless warriors of the "300" sequel "Rise of an Empire" ravaged the post-Oscars box-office weekend with a domestic debut of $45.1 million but an even bigger international haul of $87.8 million.

Seven years after the original "300" became an unlikely, ultra-stylish, blood-soaked sensation, Warner Bros.' 3-D follow-up showed considerable might at the box office. While "300: Rise of an Empire" didn't come close to the North American debut of Zack Snyder's 2007 original ($70.9 million and without the benefit of 3-D ticket prices), it performed like a blockbuster overseas.
