Movie Review: ‘Long Shot’ Hits All the Right Marks
It may not seem like a great pairing – stoner-comedy star Seth Rogen opposite beautiful, straight-laced Charlize Theron – but Long Shot gets it right.

Review: ‘The Fate of the Furious’ Starring Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Kurt Russell, Charlize Theron
What started as a movie about drag racing, the “Fast and Furious” franchise has morphed into an over-the-top action romp with just enough heart to keep audiences coming out in droves.

94: ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron
If Sid from Toy Story grew up to be John Ford and then filmed a Smokey & The Bandit reboot at Burning Man it might look like Mad Max: Fury Road. Or maybe it was a fever dream. Hard to say but either way director George Miller has turned in what is arguably the most […]
