Details: Published: 05 June 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins

A new trailer for the upcoming Shaft just came out. Oh, you didn't know a new Shaft movie was coming out? That's likely because New Line Cinema hasn't been heavily promoting the film. But with mere weeks until the film hits theaters, the studio just dropped a new red band ...

Greta (2019) - Blu-ray Review

Details: Published: 01 March 2019; Written by Frank Wilkins
