Since the birth of “children’s films”, parents have unwillingly taken their hyperactive children to see plushy appropriate films, only to be one step away from pulling their hair out.

REVIEW: HAIL, CAESAR!
Does The Coen Brothers’ take on old Hollywood live up to their past achievements? Set in 1951, Hail, Caesar! centers around a studio “manager”, Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), whose job it is to keep the actors in line as their constant personal lives force pictures to come to a standstill.

REVIEW: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
Director Burr Steers takes on the classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, but with a twist of The Walking Dead.
