Disney Plans to Cut Fox’s Film Slate in Half!!

More light is being shed on what 20th Century Fox will look like under the ownership of Disney.

A Cure for Wellness (2017) Review!!!

Synopsis – An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps, but soon suspects that the spa’s treatments are not what they seem.

Blumhouse‘s Get Out, the Jordan Peele horror/comedy/social commentary, parlayed its glowing critical reception for a stunning $30.5 million Oscar weekend in 2,781 theaters and a very respectable $10,976 per-screen average.

Even when his films don’t completely work for me, I still think Gore Verbinski is an underrated and fascinating director. I think his madcap and slightly insane direction is why the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies work, and even when they go off the rails, they go off the rails in a really interesting way like a woman becoming a giant and then turning into a bunch … Continue reading Gore Verbinski’s Horror Film ‘A Cure for Wellness’ Releases a Creepy Viral Ad!!
