This brought on Peyton Reed at the last minute, and the "Bring It On" director quickly steered the film into port. The film was a hit but still felt like it was missing something.

2008 in Review: ‘Burn After Reading’
Growing up I wasn’t that big into film and was way more into television and video games.

Which is why the year 2008 was such a formative year for … Continue reading 2008 in Review: ‘Burn After Reading’
Review: ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ is One Big Dino Pile
