Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver Get Together for Cozy Easter Brunch

Family was the main focus for today.
Numerous celebs spent Easter with their loved ones, and E! News reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger was part of the trend by joining Maria Shriver and their children for brunch at Coast Cafe at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, Calif.

The separated couple were sitting next to each other and the kids, nestled in a corner of the restaurant and dressed casually.
Although one might think there would be some tension, especially after news went out that the former California governor has been dating someone "since the fall," but there was no iciness between him and Shriver, and the two remained engaged in conversation.

interview with Evil Dead stars Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci and Jessica Lucas

EVIL DEAD is coming and this is one of those rare times you can actually believe the hype. This frightfully fun and gory remake features a terrific cast including Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci and Jessica Lucas. All of which we had the opportunity to talk to about this wild and terrifying ride. And to make things all the better, I had a blast talking to all three of these fine actors.

When I sat down with this terrific trio, we talked about skipping school and watching EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN. Judging by the camaraderie shared by the three, it is a safe bet that this fright flick was a blast to film. Thankfully that fun translates to a scary (and most assuredly gruesome) good time.

WonderCon: Over 100 Cosplay Pictures from the Convention Floor Featuring DOCTOR WHO, ROCKY, CATWOMAN, STAR TREK, Jessica Rabbit & More

Every year at WonderCon, half the fun is seeing all the people that Cosplay.  While the convention is full of famous panelists, Cosplay allows Con-goers to dress up like any superhero, anime character, or even  Darth Helmet from Spaceballs and get huge props from their fellow attendees.   I’m always impressed with the level of detail and dedication.

While walking around the convention floor, I was able to snap over 100 pictures.  If you’re a fan of Star Wars, Batman, Catwoman, Punisher, Zelda, Elmo, The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Ghost Rider, G.I. Joe, X-Men, BioShock, and Marvel superheroes just to name a few…hit the jump to see the pics.

Paramount Pictures Planning a Third G.I. Joe Movie

Variety is reporting today that there's movement on a third "G.I.: Joe" movie that would follow G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

"Retaliation" opened to $132 million, of which $51.7 million came from domestic theaters and $80.3 million from international ones.
The trade adds that "Retaliation" cost less ($130 million) compared to "The Rise of Cobra," which cost about $175 million.

Worldwide, "Retaliation" could make over $400 million, quite a bit more than "Cobra's" $303 million.
If they go ahead with the third movie, which characters should be included?

‘Iron Man 3′: Marvel to Release a Different Version in China

Marvel fans know that Iron Man 3 will prove to be a turning point for the studio’s efforts. Following the record-breaking success of The Avengers, Tony Stark’s latest adventure has the responsibility to continue raising the stakes and proving to audiences that a single superhero can be just as compelling as a whole team of them.

One way in which the film will attempt to outdo last year’s blockbuster event is by presenting an even more action-packed finale than the New York battle of The Avengers. However, Iron Man 3 will also broaden the scope from an American threat to a more global presence. This has, of course, been somewhat assumed ever since The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) was confirmed to be the film’s primary antagonist.
