(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/27/2021 1:17 PM EDT In the United States, there is a whole group of retired people who buy RVs and travel around the country to "see the sights".

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 6:00 PM EDT How often does a filmmaker get to completely remake one of their films thirty-three years after the original version came out? The answer is never.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/29/2021 8:55 AM EDT Could someone please explain to me the desire to take every video game and make it into a movie (generally a whole franchise)? How about explaining Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat) and Milla Jovovich's (Kuffs) obsession with being the people behind these types of movies?
