Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Hemsworth continues doing the work Over the last few years, Chris Hemsworth finally found his groove as a comedic actor, but also as a leading man who is happy—even enthusiastic—about working with women.

Movie Reviews and Previews Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron in Long Shot The movie that took Seth Rogen from ensemble player in Judd Apatow projects to leading man (in Judd Apatow projects) is Knocked Up. Knocked Up is also a movie that has not aged particularly well, in the way it portrays ambitious, career-oriented women. Long Shot, a romantic comedy produced by By Sarah • May 03, 2019 10:36 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Robert Downey Jr: genius, billionaire, husband, philanthropist No, he’s not a billionaire yet. But at this point – or soon – Robert Downey Jr has to be at least halfway there. The Hollywood Reporter published an article earlier this week about the Avengers and their paycheques.
