Behind the Scenes: ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — With every new year, I always wonder what will Nicolas Cage do next. I mean, the man is resilient. He is always working on one project after another and never stops. Some movies are better than others and some are just not good at all. But for the fans of […][...]

WikiLeaks Doc says ‘Friends’ More Powerful than Propaganda
