A western comedy that’s better with its ideas than its comedy and sidekicks. I’m sure not many people would see “Americana,” because it’s artisan western being released in the middle of August. […]
Americana
Nobody 2

These MCU anti-heroes kick some serious ass. There’s a scene later in “Thunderbolts” when Valentina De Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) tells Yelena (Florence Pugh) she looks like “Sh*t.” If I were her, I […]
