Movie Reviews
"Star Trek: Into Darkness" has warped its way to a $70.6 million domestic launch from Friday to Sunday, though it's not setting any light-speed records with a debut that's lower than the studio's expectations.
Leonard DiCaprio's "The Great Gatsby" partied like it was the Roaring Twenties with a $51.1 million debut that made it a surprisingly strong runner-up to comic-book blockbuster "Iron Man 3."
Water Cooler News
An 18-year-old has been given until Friday to agree to a plea deal on charges of lewd and lascivious battery of a child 12 to 16 years old, but some are calling for the charges to be dropped.
