Latest on The Mechanic
The Mechanic is out on DVD
There's plenty of thrills and chills on the DVD shelf this week. Heading the list is the latest outing for that one-man wrecking crew, Jason Statham, who stars in 'The Mechanic' as an elite assassin who has to take on his former bad guy boss to revenge...
Exorcism chiller 'The Rite' didn't scare up as much money as predicted, but it still took possession of enough ticketbuyers to claim the top spot at the box office. According to studio estimates, the Anthony Hopkins occult horror film earned $15.0...
