Review: “HOP” Starring Russel Brand, James Marsden
The commercials scream, “From the makers of Despicable Me” and justifiably so. Despicable Me was the surprise hit of the summer – charming, funny and delightfully unexpected.

Let’s cut right to the chase, shall we? Tron: Legacy is a worthy successor to the original Tron.
