Screen Rant owner Vic Holtreman originally founded this site with the intention of providing readers with a middle-ground/average person perspective on movie news and reviews – hence our old mantra “movie and TV news without the sugar coating.” While the site has certainly evolved – we now cover a wider range of genres and provide readers with a variety of diverse “voices” – our willingness to champion both entertaining and/or artistic movies (at least on a case by case basis) hasn’t changed. Which is why we (Vic and myself) jumped at the chance to participate in Film School Reject ‘s recent article the “10 Greatest Movies of All Time (According to the Internet).” Now the results are in. The original idea (read the full FSR list ), drummed-up by the host of their …

Joss Whedon is officially a mainstream name now, thanks to his writing and directing efforts on Marvel’s The Avengers - officially the #1 record holder for biggest opening weekend in movie history .
