The 29th season of Discovery Channel's wildly popular Shark Week is coming up on July 23, and we want you to be prepared.

Who would you rather fight, a million spider-sized ape or one ape-sized spider? It’s a question that’s been haunting my mind since, oh, about an hour ago when I started to look up the box office numbers for this past weekend. And while I might not be any closer to solving my riddle, I can at least say this: when it comes to week-old spiders versus brand new primates, the primates are destined to win. Here’s the box office numbers as of Sunday afternoon:

Today I learned about about a movie called "Southern Comfort" from 1981 that is packed full of South Louisiana Cajun goodness. The movie seems to do a fantastic and fairly accurate job of portraying what the Cajun lifestyle is all about. That's actually what a lot of people were shocked by when the movie was released. It's was a little too real for some folks, or at least this one particular scene.

It’s a pleasant Sunday afternoon in the world, which means it’s time for your weekend box office updates! While this was a disappointing weekend overall for a handful of new releases, there’s good news to be had: after a disappointing $144 million total gross last weekend, the box office bounced back to $187 million total over the past few days. That takes some of the pressure off Wonder Woman to, you know, save the summer blockbuster as we know it. Here’s the totals as of Sunday afternoon:

While Pixar’s animated world of anthropomorphic automobiles may very well continue on past Cars 3, there’s a whole lot of finality going on in the final trailer for Pixar’s latest chapter in the racing saga. “One new turn…One more dream…One last chance” reads the title cards in the new trailer for the sequel, in which Owen Wilson’s Lightning McQueen suffers a crippling accident that threatens to end his career. I swear this movie is still totally for kids.

Summer is in full swing. This means we're all looking for cheap, fun ways to cure summertime boredom for the kids. Right on cue comes the Grand Theatre 14. They'll be hosting "Summer Kids' Flicks" all summer with some great movies the kids will love, and it only costs $4!

Hold your next party among some of the real life props and sets of movies and TV shows filmed right here in the Bayou State.

This week, the whole dang internet started it's obsession with "The Keepers". However, another documentary was released by HBO May 15th called "Mommy Dead and Dearest" that is deserving of the hype machine as well. This documentary will look and feel very familiar to those of us in South Louisiana, because it's all about the Blanchard family, and their seriously twisted and tragic story of Child Abuse, mental illness, and forbidden love.

It’s been a few years since Charlie Sheen has appeared in a feature film of any type, but to hear the actor say it, he’s already lined up his big comeback project. For a while now, Sheen has been talking up the possibility of a Major League sequel that brings back the cast and crew of the original film. And now it sounds like the actor has put in the work and might be closer than ever to getting that film made with a bunch of familiar faces.

Almost everywhere you turn right now, in person or online, you're sure to see something about the Netflix documentary "The Keepers". So, what's all the fuss? It's a very, very heavy documentary that is downright uncomfortable at times. Before you dive head first into it, watch this trailer for "The Keepers" and decide if this is something for you.

The greatest movie in the history of cinema is turning 40 and there could only be one station to let you know about it.

Turn off your proton packs and fire up your Fleetwood Mac, it’s time for the latest edition of the ScreenCrush Weekend Box Office Report! There were few surprises to be found at the top of the list this weekend, but with a few big films nearing the end of their theatrical run, it’s a good time to take stock and see how things shook out. Here’s the projected grosses as of Sunday afternoon:

Folks who recently took the boat ride at Disney's "Pirates Of The Caribbean" attraction got the surprise of a lifetime. On this particular day, it wasn't the animatronic Jack Sparrow who they encountered, but the real life Johnny Depp playing the part!

Welcome to the calm before the storm. With a handful of blockbuster movies already released, and more on the way, the second weekend in April was a relatively quiet affair, with a few old favorites dominating the weekend yet again and a few new releases grabbing whatever box office they could before things get fast and furious at your local multiplex. Let’s take a look at the projected grosses through Sunday afternoon.

While the giant ape in Kong: Skull Island may not climb any New York skyscrapers this time around, he certainly did climb the box office charts. The latest Warner Bros. monster movie shot all the way to the top spot in its opening weekend, with Logan and the surprising hit Get Out both shifting one spot down to accommodate him.

Can you spot the Louisiana locations in the movie 'Logan'? There are several different spots you might recognize.

What do audiences want to see on President’s Day weekend? Apparently not The Great Wall, Fist Fight, and A Cure For Wellness, each of which opened to disappointing numbers. However, The LEGO Batman Movie, Fifty Shades Darker, John Wick: Chapter 2, Hidden Figures and even Split kept the box office above water, continuing to do strong business.

We've all seen the "Rocky" movies more times than we can remember. Every time I watch them, I usually notice something in the movies I haven't before. However, as many times as I've seen these movies, I never knew the true story behind this one part of the story, until now.

The real test of a great actor is if they can do a spot-on Cajun accent. Unfortunately, these actors did not pass the test.

Deadline reports today that the 1978 film will soon receive a modern-day remake courtesy of journeyman director Anthony Cohen.
