“Seven” The Greatest Thriller Of All-Time

MorHOLLYWOOD—Asking a movie buff his or her favorite movie, is like asking them to choose which parent they love best; it’s no easy choice.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron,” Popcorn Fun

HOLLYWOOD—I will be the first to admit; I was not the biggest fan of “The Avengers” when it was released back in 2012.
