This film follows named Mike (Chris Hemsworth) on his last heist in the crime world. Crime 101 follows the trope of heist/crime movies of the past. It reminded me especially of The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen. Is it as good as The Thomas Crown Affair? The best thing about Crime 101 is the star studded cast. Hemsworth does a good job as m

But Sheepdog is different - in the best way possible. After embarking on a cross country road trip (which was inspired by a fateful encounter with a tow truck driver who served in the military), director Steven Grayhm tells a story of veterans all enduring struggles of their own.

After all, it was a decade when the United States was dealing with the Great Depression, Nazi German

Every episode follows the same formula. If

2025 was a solid year for Warner Bros. Discovery movies, as many movies did well at the box office and were praised by critics. Because of that and its large library of movies and shows, it was no surprise that Paramount Skydance was pursuing a merger with the company.

But how much can the viewer grab onto, perceive and feel when the project in question is only a seventeen minute short film? Surprisingly, a whole lot. Now diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer, filmmaker David C. Roberts has decided to craft
