    by Chris Wager February 21, 2019

    “Franchise.” That’s the magic word that causes all Hollywood execs to start comically drooling like Homer Simpson looking at a pink frosted donut. I imagine that anyone green-lighting movies is hoping to strike gold on…

    by Kali Tuttle October 19, 2018
    by Kali Tuttle October 19, 2018

    Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that Hollywood today has a significant percentage of British people. Maybe it’s always been like that and I’ve just never noticed, but I feel like England is trying…

    Why The Gangster Sub-Genre Just Isn’t As Relevant Today

    by Stephen Finlay August 19, 2018
