Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel Day-Lewis (maybe) goes out on a high note In a career littered with great performances, it’s not hard to see why Daniel Day-Lewis would choose Phantom Thread’s Reynolds Woodcock to be his final performance (for now).

Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie & Garrett A quick picture post to start the day… Charlie Hunnam was photographed yesterday with cash spilling out of his wallet after having lunch with a friend.
