Arnold movie review & film summary (2023)

Schwarzenegger also says nothing about his abusive father Gustav’s voluntary service with the Nazis, presumably because he flicked away that association in his 2012 memoir, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.

Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) movie review (2023)

As one figure in this documentary directed by Anton Corbijn notes, doing this, in a sense, rendered the album title almost literal.

The Flash movie review & film summary (2023)

Tom Holland Offers His Review of ‘Spider-Verse’

While you may think Tom Holland might be protective about his own Spider-Man movies, or competitive with other Spider-Man franchises, that’s actually not the case. When asked what he thought about the first movie and Across The Spider-Verse while at the premiere of The Crowded Room, he had the following to say: I think the first Spider-Verse movie is the best…

30 for 30: The Luckiest Guy in the World movie review (2023)

Walton’s life story is in great hands with director James, who has a rare touch for sports and the people who play them (“Hoop Dreams,” “Prefontaine”).
