Francis Ford Coppola. If there were a Mount Rushmore of American directors, he’d certainly be on it. Just think about his filmography and the impact it STILL has on filmmakers, actors, and viewers alike. With that in mind, let us tell you a story about what happened during production on his seminal “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.”Keanu Reeves, who as much as we love should NEVER AGAIN have an English accent in any project, co-stared in the film as Jonathan Harker, London solicitor and aid to the great Count Dracula (Gary Oldman). Talk about iconic costumes and characters! Well, it turns out…

If you are at all a fan of FOX’s brilliant sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle,” you have to see this adorable reunion between two of the biggest stars. We’re speaking of course of current NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz, who played the aforementioned Malcolm, and his tv dad, 6-time Emmy winner, Bryan Cranston.

This is normally the sentence where I’d make some kind of pithy joke about a car-centric film franchise, but considering the seriousness of this particular story, I’ll refrain. Vin Diesel, star of the never-ending “Fast & Furious” films, has been accused of sexual battery by his former personal assistant. Not just accused, either. A lawsuit filed by Asta Jonasson brings claims of a 2010 assault.

According to the suit, late one night in September 2010, Jonasson…
