Kill or be killed. That’s the thematic thrust behind The Purge mythos as the real America totters on the ever increasing gulf between the rich and the poor. The surprise hit of last year’s The Purge m...
Jason Bateman is on quite a roll. After having his career resuscitated by starring (and starring again) in Arrested Development, he seems to earn only goodwill from all his projects – even the ones th...
