Café Society is director Woody Allen’s latest film about old Hollywood – or sort of. Set during its golden age (30s, 40s), its main protagonist is Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg), a naïve young New Yorker looking to make his way by moving to Hollywood to work under his uncle Phil (Steve Carell in a wooden …
FlixChatter Review: Suicide Squad (2016)
Not every year we get not one but two highly-anticipated DC superhero films where the hype is simply overwhelming.
