Still from BRING THEM DOWN. Source: IMDB 
Rating: 3 out of 5. “Bring Them Down” is a chilling descent into the heart of rural Ireland, a place where ancient grudges fester and the lines between right and wrong blur in the stark landscape. Christopher Andrews’ film isn’t just a thriller; it’s a character study, a portrait of a family fractured by secrets and simmering resentments, set against the backdrop of a harsh and unforgiving land. The film centers on the Lynskey family, Irish shepherds struggling to maintain their traditional way of life. Their already precarious existence is further complicated…
Still from FLIGHT RISK. Source: IMDB Rating: 2 out of 5. As a longtime admirer of Mel Gibson’s work as a filmmaker, I was genuinely excited to watch his latest film, Flight Risk.

The story follows U.S. Marshal Madolyn Harris (Michelle Dockery), who is assigned to escort key witness Winston (Topher Grace), an accountant with dangerous knowledge, to New York City. To complete this mission, she…

Romania Insider reported that Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and a team of lawyers blocked the sale. The government is reportedly pursuing its claim through legal proceedings at the Paris Judicial Tribunal, with further action to be expected.…
Earlier this week, Documenta released a new code of conduct aimed at remedying the ongoing fallout from an antisemitism controversy that created upheaval during its 2022 edition. Ahead of its 2027 edition, to be curated by Naomi Beckwith, the famed German art exhibition said in its code of conduct that it “stands for tolerance and respect for human dignity. It actively opposes all forms of anti-Semitism, racism, and any other form of group-related misanthropy.” The code of conduct relies upon a divisive definition of antisemitism that some have claimed will be used to censor artists that have espoused pro-Palestine views,…

The Watcher plays a central role in the arrival of Galactus to Marvel Comics, so it’s not shocking he appears in the trailer somewhere.In our latest Fantastic Four video, we show you where to find…
