Christian Bale Visits Colorado Shooting Victims [PHOTOS]
In the Dark Knight Rises there's a point where Batman tells Commissioner Gordon that we can all be heroes, even if it's just putting a warm coat over a boy's shoulder. Yesterday, Bale did something similar when he visited the surviving victims of the theater shooting in Colorado.
Expect a Strange Euphoria When Heart Plays Artpark Tonight
Heart may be the most disrespected band in the world. I hope it’s not because the band is fronted by the Wilson Sisters, two women.
We’ve long known that women don’t get a fair shot in the workplace, earning far less than their male counterparts, but having seen Heart steal the show when they opened for Def Leppard last summer, it’s hard to believe these ladies still don’t sell out major arenas as
‘Dark Knight Rises’ Rakes in Big Bucks Despite Tragedy
Who knows what effect the Colorado shooting had on weekend box office numbers, but the Dark Knight Rises still reigned supreme. The numbers were slightly down from the $180-$200 million projection, with the movie raking in $160 million over the weekend.

Dark Knight Tragedy Plays Out Off the Big Screen with Theater Shooting in Colorado

The movie has some intense and violent opening scenes, even at the local opening people were dressed like characters from the trilogy. At least 12 people are dead and 50 injured and unfortunately the incident played o
Six Degrees of Jon Lord (a.k.a. The Wheel of Dio) [VIDEO]
Through the years, I have touted a theory that all great hard rock can be traced back to legendary metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio. I called it my "Wheel of Dio." As a proud fan of RJD, I gave him all the credit, but in reality, the wheel centers around two bands: Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.
