August 25, 2019 Theo Fisher

Tom Cruise has been one of Hollywood’s biggest stars ever since he slid onto the screen to the sound of Bob Seger’s Old time rock and roll in 1983’s ‘Risky Business’.

August 23, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

It is no secret that Todd Phillips’ “Joker” is highly anticipated by a wide range of cinephiles. Even with a hard R rating firmly planted on its poster, the Joaquin Phoenix-starring movie is projected to nab an opening weekend of $77+ million at the box-office.
