Movie Reviews and Previews Bradley Cooper in Burnt Bradley Cooper’s American Sniper follow-up has been great. First Serena got taken to the woodshed, then Aloha ate sh*t, and now Burnt has met with the resounding indifference of critics and audiences alike and tanked hard.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jem and the Holograms is an empty nothing of a non-movie Jem and the Holograms, the movie, has as much to do with the 1980s cartoon Jem and the Holograms as a Youtube video of housecats has to do with Thundercats. If you are a fan of the cartoon Jem, don’t bother with the movie as you will only make By Sarah • Oct 27, 2015 04:05 pm
