Poster image of Universal Pictures' FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW

As expected, Hobbs & Shaw goes even further from reality than any movie from the Fast & Furious series has gone so far. While these guys have been flirting with being superhuman in previous pictures, this spinoff makes sure there’s no question that this is where they’re headed.

(L-r) Ryan Reynolds, Helen Mirren, and Daniel Bruhl star in The Weinstein Company's "Woman in Gold"

Simon Curtis made quite an introduction to the world of film with My Week with Marilyn being his directorial debut. I don’t think he or anyone involved saw how well that movie was going to do. When he came in town to promote Woman in Gold, I obviously had to ask him about that as well as get to hear …
