Got Pitt? Got Box Office
There was nothing wrong with the box office that a little Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tyler Perry, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Meg Ryan and Annette Bening couldn't fix.

THE FAMILY THAT PREYS Review
THE FAMILY THAT PREYS is yet another accomplishment in the preachy world of Tyler Perry. The writer/director who always puts gospel themes and Christianity in his movies takes us back again to the meaning of family and marriage.

Nevertheless, the story will strike a chord with Tyler Perry’s fans. Wealthy socialite C
