That idea can pertain to almost anything from a job prospect to asking someone out on a date to winning the lottery. In the case of the new movie from Lionsgate, Long Shot could incl... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/23/2019 7:00 PM EDT Yes, people die…just like in real life. Yes, some superheroes come back to continue on the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yes, some don't.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 4/9/2019 5:02 PM EDT Dick Cheney (Christian Bale; The Dark Knight) spent much of his political career flying under the radar despite the fact that he held some of the highest political offices there are in Washington, D.C.
