HOLLYWOOD—Well, it was bound to happen at some point America.

HOLLYWOOD—I cannot recall the last time I heard so much buzz about a movie that I couldn’t wait to see it to find myself disappointed by the end result. While that statement might have you suspecting that the movie of the hour, “Bird Box” is lackluster, you would indeed be wrong. I will make the argument the film loses...
