Released in 1992, 'Sister Act' starred Whoopi Goldberg as a lounge singer from Reno, put in protective custody and forced to stay at a convent, where she must pretend to be a nun to evade a dangerous mob boss.

‘Frozen’ Is Now the Highest Grossing Animated Film of All Time, Obviously
In what had become an inevitability at this point with the insanely rising box office numbers, Disney's smash hit animated film 'Frozen' has now become the highest grossing animated film of all time, usurping former crown holder 'Toy Story 3,' which held the title since 2010.

‘Wolverine: The Musical’? Watch Hugh Jackman Sing a Superhero Ballad
In case you didn't know by now (or if your mom didn't make it a point to tell you, since it's like, one of the only facts she probably prides herself on knowing about actors), Hugh Jackman has some musical theater chops. Oh, you didn't see 'Les Miserables'? The 'Wolverine' and 'X-Men' star recently took that talent to BBC Radio 1 to perform a cover of the 'Les Mis' song "Who Am I," repurposed with lyrics about his on-screen alter ego, Wolverine, and the results are, well, okay, they're pretty charming.

While we've been hearing from star Channing Tatum for some time that 'Magic Mike 2' is in the works, even though original director Steven Soderbergh has since retired from making movies, now we've got something more official to go on: the film has been given a very delightful and appropriate title, and a director has officially been chosen to choreograph all those new dance routines.

This ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Hardee’s Commercial is Just the Worst
Superhero movies doing cross-promotional ads with fast food companies is nothing new and neither is Hardee's commercials that sexualize women and hamburgers, but this new ad featuring Mystique (or a stand-in, anyway) to promote both 'X-Men: Days of Future of Past' and Hardee's new Western X-Tra Bacon burger is so offensively awful, even by dumb commercial standards, it'll make you wish Professor X could wipe your brain after.

Teacher Threatens to Reveal ‘Game of Thrones’ Spoilers If Students Don’t Behave
Here's one way to get your students to settle down: in Belgium, a group of students who also happen to be big 'Game of Thrones' fans, were acting a bit too rowdy in the classroom, so their teacher had a brilliant idea. If they didn't behave, he was going to start dropping massive 'Game of Thrones' spoilers, including the major deaths of characters one by one until they learned their lesson. Maybe we should take a hint from this guy.
