John Travolta Movie "Horrifically Bad"; Liza Minnelli Not Thrilled With Renee Zellweger Playing Judy; Mexican Fans, FIFA, and Anti-Gay Slurs
John Travolta Movie "Horrifically Bad"
I haven't seen the movie so this isn't my review. I'm only linking.
“Gotti” has around 28 producers and looks like the all you can eat buffet version of a gourmet Martin Scorsese movie. You only realize how amazing James Gandolfini was in “The Sopranos” by watching Travolta act with his chin, the same way he portrayed Robert Shapiro in the “OJ” mini series. Between Travolta and real life wife Kelly Preston, who plays Mrs. Gotti, the movie is like an infome...

And it's only recently we've started talking about it. Unfortunately, many of us still can't talk abou...

Michael Peterson, Netflix, The Staircase and the LGBT Angle

Here's a brief description from Wiki:
