Friday, May 10th, 2013 by Patrick White

David O. Russell knows how to properly use actors. He’s an excellent director, but mind you, he’s had a history of verbal and physical disputes with them. An audience should always know that when sitting down for a Russell film you know you’ll witness transcendent performances.

I’m a Mobber!

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013 by Cassie Ivy
