Frankly, producers and directors are asking a lot of children. Even with union laws in place, the hours on set can be grueling....
[This is a review of Childhood’s End Night Three. There will be SPOILERS.] - The last installment of Childhood’s End sprinted toward the finish with style.

Starting another four years after the ending of ‘The Deceivers,’ the Greggson family has somewhat accepted their daughter Jennifer is a bit… different....

Daniel Craig’s Bond Is In A Strange Position After Spectre Spectre was a well-intentioned mess of a film that left the Bond franchise teetering on uncertainty. Mendes rushed to meet a November 2015 release date (October 26th in the UK), with his four screenwriters, including Purvis and Wade, John Logan, and Jez Butterworth unable to solve the issues of the script before cameras started rolling. He attempted to double down on the success of Skyfall by again dissecting the relevance of its main character by weaving together the continuity of all of Daniel Craig’s Bond films, retconning his adventures so that his heretofore-unknown arch-enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz) was pulling the strings all along as the leader of the evil global network, Spectre....
Deadpool 2 director David Leitch says certain jokes from the sequel’s trailers won’t make the final cut of the film. Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds is known for his motor-mouthed comedic performance style, much like his X-Men counterpart. It thus came as little surprise when Reynolds confirmed that he improvised a fair amount during the filming of the original Deadpool movie, along with some of his costars. While many of those on-the-fly jokes made the final cut, many more were naturally left on the cutting room floor and either appeared in the trailers only and/or as DVD and Blu-ray extras....
