Did Clint pull off a miracle of his own?

More than 10 years on, can David Brent make it from the paper business to show business? And, more importantly, is watching him fail at that still funny?

Another film about the locating of fish. That genre will never die so long as we fish ourselves.

After years of fans whining, was Batfleck all that bad?
Hail, Caesar!
A movie with perfect punctuation must mean a perfect movie right?
