Ed Helms and Christina Applegate star in Warner Bros. Pictures' "Vacation"

Family vacations are featured in movies quite a bit, but very few have been as memorable as the one’s that have been had by Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his family.

Paul Rudd stars in Marvel's "Ant-Man"

For those of you keeping track, Ant-Man represents the end of the second phase of recent films from Marvel’s cinematic universe. In my eyes, the mere presence of his character also represents a number of questions about Marvel’s direction and whether or not he even fits along side the other Avengers that he’ll now be teaming up with. After watching …
