It's a well-circulated idea that at some point California is going to break off and fall into the ocean.

The Gallows is the latest in a long line of newer horror films that uses the "raw footage" technique to convince the audience they are watching real life events.

The Leftovers…Not Just For Dinner.Last year, HBO debuted a new series from writer Damon Lindelof, who was one of the masterminds behind the hit series "Lost".

Taking a well-known story and twisting it around a little cannot be the easiest thing to do. With his latest film, Pan, Director Joe Wright takes J.M.
