GENERAL
The toys are back and so is the summer box office season. If a memo was going around indicating that this summer's line-up was supposed to underperform, the guys over at Pixar sure didn't receive it. Or they just chose to ignore it.
With Toy Story 3 dominating the box office last weekend, it's up to Knight & Day and the upcoming July 4th line-up to keep it going. And who better to break down those prospects than Mania's Movie Maven Tara Perry!
Check out the geek goddess' lightning fast preview of Tom Cruise's latest film and M. Night's The Last Airbender below!

Knight & Day Movie Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/knight-day-movie-review_article_123420.html
The rehabilitation of Tom Cruise continues. After seriously spooking the herd with his off-camera antics a few years ago, he's rebounded nicely with a series of unpretentious, but well-oiled star vehicles that remind us why we dug him so much in the first place.
True Blood: Beautifully Broken Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/true-blood-beautifully-broken-review_article_123384.html
True Blood gets back up to speed this week as its (comparatively) slow premiere gives way to a first-rate helping of blood, sex and undead politics just the way we like it.
The Crazies Blu-ray Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/crazies-bluray-review_article_123419.html
This remake serves to underscore just how ahead of his time Romero was as his plot is reminiscent of films such as and "28 Days Later" and "Outbreak" which wouldn't come along for another couple of decades.
The Gates: Pilot Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/gates-pilot-review_article_123367.html
Our critic says The Gates is not one that will join the ranks of quality vampire shows. It's not even worthy to sweep the dust Buffy would've made if she and the Scoobies did a scorched earth campaign through this exclusive, gated community or if Raze from the Underworld movies decided to clean house. But some of our readers seem to disagree with him. Read the debate here.
