So, she is doing what anyone determined to win a goddamn Oscar does: donning prosthetics and playing a controversial historical figure. Chastain stars with Andrew Garfield By Sarah • Jun 10, 2021 12:31 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The 355 is NOT a comedy I don’t know why, but for some reason I thought The 355 was an action-comedy.

Movie Reviews and Previews The X-Men limp to the finish line With Disney taking over Fox, and the X-Men returning to Marvel Studios’ control, the X-Men franchise is now a lame duck.
