Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Review

In fact, the film gets even better once shit starts getting real. Much of whyWTFworks so well is because theyve surrounded Fey with a standout cast. including Robbie (co-star of their previous filmFocus),who is so amazing at everything she does. Robbie works surprisingly well as a friendly but competitive foil to Fey despite their very different styles and backgrounds. To the filmmakers credit, they work hard to get things right while otherwise maintaining some semblance of accuracy....

American Dad!: Kiss Kiss Cam Cam Review

ThisAmerican Dad!review containsspoilers. American Dad! : Season 12, Episode 6 Who even drinks water anymore? Have a Coke Zero, am I right? Kiss Kiss Cam Cam starts out strong with Stan being heavy with the best kind of nonsense. Throw in a cameo by MC Scat Cat and youve got the makings for a fairly unhinged installment. Its the perfect sort of mock sweet conclusion that can remind us that happiness is communal HPV diagnoses....

Will Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set box office records? It went on to gross $533 million and its sequel grossed $448 million domestically.
