"They should have sent a poet," says Jodie Foster's teary-eyed astronaut as she gazes upon the glory of space in Contact. It took nearly 20 years, but Terrence Malick has taken it upon himself to answer that call with Voyage of Time. Not every line rhymes, and some privilege sound......

According to Forbes, Fan Bingbing made $17 million last year — more than any actress on the planet not named Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa McCarthy, Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer Aniston. The Chinese megastar is likely most familiar to American audiences for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in X-Men: Days of Future Past, but......

Going viral guarantees little beyond having your 15 minutes of fame re-uploaded to YouTube in ever-diminishing quality, the original video (and its impressive view count) eventually lost to time and/or take-down notices.
