Home invasion horror-thriller The Purge pulled in a surprising $36.3 million at the box office over the weekend, landing the top spot and knocking Fast & Furious 6 into second place with a take of $19.7 million.

"The Purge" easily recouped its meager production budget, costing only $3 million to make; and exceeded expectations and predictions, many of which had "Fast & Furious" holding the top spot for a third straight week.

Now You See Me, illusionist heist flick starring Isla Fisher and Mark Ruffalo came in at number-three with $18.9 million; while Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson criticall...

Angelina Jolie's aunt, Debbie Martin, has died after a long battle with breast cancer. Martin revealed that she began battling the disease for a second time last year after undergoing a lumpectomy in 2004 during her first bout with the disease. She was 61. Jolie underwent a double mastectomy to significantly reduce her own chances of getting cancer, because she carries the BRCA1 gene, which increases a woman's risk of getting the disease. Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007, and both women's deaths have been linked to the gene. (story)

The last trailer for Fast & Furious 6 before its May 24 release date makes the latest installment in the series the series look like it's going to be the most action-packed.

Actress Jordana Brewster was hospitalized while filming a Fast & Furious movie after a stunt went wrong and left her with a gashed hand.

The Dallas star appeared in the first installment of the action series and three follow-ups, but she needed medical attention when a scene ended in disaster.

She tells Ocean Drive magazine, "I had a stunt double who was really good, but I did do some of my own (stunts). (Director) Justin (Lin) is kind of hard-core. He's from the independent film world and wants the real shot.

"There's one scene where I'm running with a baby, and it's not a doll! I wa...

The Super Bowl is second only to The Oscars telecast when it comes to movie trailers. So who paid the big bucks this year?

Oz: the Great and Powerful had the best spot in my opinion. The clever black and white, 4:3 (the classic's original resolution) opening immediately drew one's attention. After expanding to fullscreen and in vibrant color, This Sam Raimi directed prequel to the classic Wizard of Oz looked like it would be a surefire hit in March.

J.J. Abrams only put a few brief moments of lens flare into his Star Trek: Into Darkness trailer. This action-packed Sci Fi movie hits th...

Pop star Rihanna has been challenged to a girl fight by mixed martial artist stuntwoman-turned-action star Gina Carano.

The mixed martial arts champ tells Eonline.com, "I would love to see me and Rihanna go at it. That would be ho...

Beauty is nothing new for a leading lady, but add a healthy dose of lethal to the mix and you’ve got uniquely killer combination. With her equally exquisite loveliness and fast moving fists, former MMA fighter Gina Carano has both qualities in spades – so much so that famed director Steven Soderbergh cast her as the striking lead in his new film. Hitting Blu-ray on May 1 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment, "Haywire" has Carano playing a black-ops agent double-crossed and looking for a little vengeance. We’re celebrating Soderbergh’s return to his roots with a cool Blu-ray review, but firs...
