If you happened to see random red balloons around the city yesterday, a Rockford man was behind it. But why?

The Oscar nominations were announced earlier this week, and if you haven't seen any of the best picture nominees yet, AMC is giving you a chance.

If you could see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story every day for the entire time its in the theater, for $100 and a couple tanks of gas, would you do it? Here's your chance, so giddy up!

Another day, another Facebook scam.

I sometimes feel badly for those who are too young to have experienced the fun of a drive-in movie. At one time, Rockford had several drive-in movie theaters to choose from, but those days are long gone. Now, the closest drive-in that I could find is 39 miles away in McHenry. Don't despair, though. There's a great alternative right here in town.

Here are 10 drive-In movie theaters in Illinois and here is whee you can find them

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was never not going to have an enormous opening weekend. Toxic reviews and mixed word of mouth mean nothing next to hype — that title alone guaranteed a record-breaking start. And right now, Zack Snyder’s superhero epic does look like a gigantic hit. However, this weekend is really all about the trailers and posters and Warner Bros.’ omnipresent marketing. The real challenge will be next weekend, when the film’s legs will be properly tested.

Even though some of the preliminary reviews of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice have been pretty negative, I'm still looking forward to catching the movie (which premieres today here in Rockford).

There’s plenty of stuff to keep you busy at the movie theater next month, from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to 10 Cloverfield Lane and all the other titles in between. But if you’re looking to enjoy some movies in the comfort of your home, March brings lots of new releases for you to rent or buy, including 2015 hits like Creed, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and much more. Read on for our guide to March’s new DVD and Blu-ray releases.

Good morning, happy Monday. Have you settled in at work, shaken the snow off your boots, maybe had a cup of coffee? Good, now hold onto your goddamn hat, because Star Wars is happening again.
