Top 5 / Bottom 5: Richard Linklater
Posted Fri Apr 27, 2012 at 11:05 AM PDT by Aaron PeckWith 'Bernie' opening, we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at Richard Linklater's illustrious career to chronicle his best and worst films.

Top 5 / Bottom 5: Kevin Costner
Posted Thu Mar 29, 2012 at 12:35 PM PDT by Aaron PeckKevin Costner is about as divisive a Hollywood figure as Nicolas Cage.

Here's something interesting, among Costner's starring roles on IMDb, the scores run the gamut, from 98 percent down to a dismal 7 percent. The guy has range!
