It was always safe to assume that ‘The Emoji Movie’ would be bad. Basing an entire animated film on the little winky faces that you text to friends when you’re too drunk to think up actual words is about as artis...
Cold War spy angst and goofy old-school physical action don’t exactly sound like comfortable bedfellows, but ‘John Wick’ co-director and future ‘Deadpool 2’ director David Leitch thought he’d gi...

Entries for this week’s new contest are pouring in, but I haven’t forgotten those of you who participated last week. We’re ready to give away a free Blu-ray copy of ‘Kong: Skull Island’ today. LetR...
