All-In and Drawing Dead (Movie Review: “The Gambler”)

Normality does not exist.

Read MoreYou cowards. You’re pathetic. I’m talking to you — Sony, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, Cineplex, Carmike Cinemas, and AMC Theaters. Each of your gutless companies should be ashamed for yanking the new movie, “The Interview,” which was going to be released next week.
