The Movie ‘The Menu’ Is a Disappointing Class Commentary
Seth Reiss and Will Tracy's satirical romp The Menu is about the maniacal Chef Slowik enacting revenge on those he perceives as slighting him.

Top Ten List from a Big Fan
Back when I was happily married, I had written a little poem about two of my favorite actresses: Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence. I said in my poem that either one of them could play me if there was a movie about my life. The fact is that Natalie has an Oscar award and Jennifer does not. It's a numbers game really. Natalie has been in more films. Natalie had over 7 movies as contenders for the award, while Jennifer only had 3 contenders.

WTF Endings
If you’re here it's because you love TV and that means that you have probably stuck with a show long enough to witness it become absolutely terrible.

Without Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky and only passing remarks to films past, is Creed III able to stand on its own two feet? Just like the star at its centre, this entry is always up to the challenge.
