Sony’s ‘Uncharted’ Film Lacks PlayStation’s Fun (Movie Review)

Sony Pictures’ Uncharted looks to be Spider-Man star Tom Holland’s next box office hit this weekend.

The 33 is in fact a film about the horrible Chilean mine collapse that took place in 2010, trapping 33 miners in its depths (200 stories down, to be exact). While these hard-working […]
