Movies starring Will Poulter

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is fantasy-lite. With its PG rating and aversion to anything shocking or overly grotesque, it's the bastard stepchild of The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. A dull, meandering storyline an...

With a title like Death of a Unicorn, it’s perhaps unsurprising that Alex Scharfman’s film has a distinct Yorgos Lanthimos vibe (keeping in mind that Lanthimos made something called The Killing of a Sacred Deer). Although Scharfman doesn’t em...

In July 1967, civil unrest resulting from the brutality of the predominantly white Detroit police department reached a boiling point. The result, which history has named the “12th Street Riot”, was one of the deadliest and destructive riots in...
