The Great Gatsby was formerly …

Jessica Alba’s Fake Nude Scene

That's why a scene in the recent film Machete caused many jaws to drop. Well, prepare to have them dropped further.

James Cameron, famed director-turned household name after the success of Avatar, wants to hold 3D movies to a high standard. So high, in fact, that he’ll go out of his way to insult 3D movies which aren’t up to the same standard, apparently, as Avatar. Cameron was uncomplimentary of Piranha 2 in a recent Vanity Fair interview, saying “I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but [Piranha 2] is exactly an …
