Truth movie review: when journalistic truth is ugly (#LFF2015)
A fascinating look at the pitfalls of modern journalism, and a compelling portrait of a journalist who paid a high price for letting them trip her up.
Topher Grace
American Ultra movie review: Bourne to lose
It’s one joke dragged out for 90 minutes, and while it’s not entirely unamusing, the comedy feels mired in the same stoner fog as its slacker protagonist.
Topher Grace’s 85-min Star Wars prequels fancut, which we’ll never see (and other adventures in social networking)

It’s like being force-fed, all in one sitting, an entire box of cheap-shit heart-shaped chocolates from the dollar store.
question of the day: Does the casting of Adrien Brody and Topher Grace as action heroes signal a shift in action movies?
So, the news came this week that Adrien Brody and Topher Grace would be headlining the upcoming Predator reboot from director Nimród Antal. Say what?
