The Meg

(Jennifer Broderick) 11/12/2018 10:10 PM EDT
Warner Bros. has an amazing capacity for bringing the unknown and mysterious to life. I can think of more than several movies wherein the audience becomes so invested in the characters, the storyline, and the ending that the edge of the cinema seat is the most worn part of the chair. The thriller movie of the summer can be your thriller... Read More
