Nine JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Featurettes!

People assumed that Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle would make money at the box office (well, it does star Dwayne Johnson) – but I don’t think they imagined it would bank more than $404 million in the US and over $956 million globally! [...]

I Don’t Know What The Hell Is Going On With This Trailer For THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS

Who knew that 2001’s Fast and the Furious would have rumbled on to its seventh sequel – now craftily titled Fate of the Furious. I didn’t know that I’d dip into the franchise during episode 7 and enjoy the hell out of it [...]
