I have to ask you this. Do you believe in God? You’re going to need that faith in order to survive this one, brothers and sisters. The Darkness is a dull ride through familiar roads with actors and actresses more talented than the trappings of this bland and forgettable ...

Shane Black's The Nice Guys hits on so many different levels, it certainly won't come as a surprise if we look back at this as the exact moment the buddy cop flick was awakened from its 30-year slumber. Sure, the genre has seen many come and go since Black's Lethal ...

It was only a matter of time before Dory got her own picture. Granted, no one could have imagined it would take Pixar 13 years, but we’re finally going back to Nemo’s reef to pay another visit to the forgetful blue tang and her finned, scaled, feathered, and tentacled ...
