Movie Reviews and Previews The actors are getting on with it Behold! A rare strike-era movie premiere appears. Not a festival premiere, but an actual, honest to goddess red carpet for a new film.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, October 4, 2016 An extremely rare Daniel Day-Lewis sighting. Do you think Adam and DDL met on Lincoln?
