A ‘Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ Sequel Is Being Written!!!

One of the most underrated films of the last few years is certainly Guy Ritchie’s sexy spy thriller The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The film is basically a three-way flirtation romp between Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, and Alicia Vikander, and it is an absolute delight. Ritchie hones in on a playful sensuality throughout that keeps the 60s spy action flighty, fun, and flirty, and Cavill, Hammer, … Continue reading A ‘Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ Sequel Is Being Written!!!

Check out the Hits & Misses of Summer 2015!!

The summer box office will go down as the second-biggest in history, but the wealth wasn’t evenly distributed. Instead, the results revealed a profound case of corporate income inequality. Two studios, Universal and Disney, gobbled up most of the profits after fielding massive hits like “Jurassic World” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Together, their films made up seven of the 10 top-grossing domestic releases this … Continue reading Check out the Hits & Misses of Summer 2015!!
