He tells People.com, "He's got a small piece in it (the movie). He's a zombie who then gets shot. I don't know what that says about my parenting!"

Top Ten : The Prequel Effect (Infographic)

June 17th, 2013 12:39pm EDT
Requels Infographic
Movie Prequels are the perfect solution for expanding the story of a movie that ended perfectly. After all, many people wouldn't ever change an ending to a great movie, even if we want to see more of it. Prequels allows us to do that, by delving deeper into that story before it happens.

But are all prequels a good idea? Sometimes, when executed poorly, prequels are just another way for money-grubbing production companies to eeke another dollar from a beloved franchise, either killing it outright, or downgrading the value of the series.

THE GOOD

Jason’s Pick

"In A World" – Effective most when in full bittersweet romantic mode, Lake Bell’s writing and directing debut is a cute flick amidst a tad fluffy.  Bell herself comes off much like Kristen Wiig, funny and charming in an odd and unique way.  The comedy is unfortunately light, but does come ...
