‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ Dishes a New Trailer and TV Spot
We're still a little confused about which film 'Texas Chainsaw 3D' is a sequel to. The first film spawned three sequels, with only one helmed by the original's Toby Hooper.

‘Key & Peele’ Renewed for a Third Season
Sketch comedy needs a kick in the rear every couple years, and it's been too long since Dave Chappelle flamed out when fame and fortune made 'The Chappelle Show' his cross to bare.

‘Independence Day 3D’ is Not Happening
