(Or How I Learned To Love David Lynch) By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 21, 2017 4:00 pm EST Until a few months ago, if the name David Lynch came up in film discussion, I would have inwardly shrugged.

Nicolas Cage Has No Regrets; Wants To Work With Quentin Tarantino By Jack Giroux/Sept. 28, 2015 4:00 pm EST Nicolas Cage is a worker. Sometimes I wonder if him and Samuel L.

Trivia: What Cubs Game Did Ferris Bueller Go To On His Day Off? By Germain Lussier/Feb. 9, 2011 6:00 am EST On occasion, movie fans have been known to over analyze.

Some Hollywood issues still plague the movie’s development, however, so we don’t know when we’ll see Bill & Ted return to the big screen....
