Moore’s personality worked both for and against the film, and viewers were just as likely to applaud his dark sense of humor as they were to chastise the final scene where he confrontsCharlton Hestonwith the picture of a child who was killed by a gun....

Bear with me here;Venomthe movie is an actual “turd in the wind.” Chop off its legs thanks to a weak first act. Lose the arms because every single supporting character is essentially worthless. The head obviously has to go becauseVenomis pretty brainless. And, not for nothing, but that leaves us with the heart (or for the sake of this visual, the torso) of the movie, the Venom and Eddie relationship, a component that’s just going where the wind takes us in this downright wacky comic book adaptation....

Lady Gagahas a message for all the Little Monsters out there looking forward to the “Telephone” sequel — giveBeyoncéa ring. It’s been well over a decade since the duo of greatness gave us one of the most iconic music videos of all time, pulling inspiration fromQuentin Tarantino’sKill Bill: Volume 1,Ridley Scott’sThelma & Louise, and — perhaps most importantly — giving us Gaga in a chain dress withcigarette sunglasses.
