Doctor Who thing of the day: Hulk name ‘Doctor Who’ favorite show ever
Sure, the Hulk usually reviews only movies — “HULK HAVE DEEP AND ABIDING LOVE OF CINEMA” — but he has made an exception and turned to the small screen for our favorite Time Lord, as he explains…
North American box office: ‘The Final Destination’ probably not so final after all
