Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hardy in Child 44 Child 44, the so-called thriller starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and Gary Oldman, is a spectacular mess (and it’s tanking).

Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four is all about Michael B. Jordan Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot is flying under the radar, as far as superhero movies go. This one has the least amount of hype and pre-release attention focused on it, and I can’t help but think that’s a good thing: With expectations low, even a mediocre result will By Sarah • Apr 20, 2015 11:06 am

Quiveration Josh Hartnett’s missed opportunities I had it bad for Josh Hartnett for a while. It was after seeing 40 Days And 40 Nights. Why didn’t Shannyn Sossamon become a bigger deal?
