Movie Reviews and Previews Hocus Pocus 2 with your wine aunts and fun uncle Alright, let’s take a break from how bleak and upsetting Blonde is to gawk at these photos from the premiere of Hocus Pocus 2.

Intro for September 28, 2022 Dear Gossips, What does a filmmaker owe their subject? When you make a film about a real person, even a fictionalized version of their life, what, if anything, is their due as the subject?
