The Secrets Of Tipping Point

With his performance in The Smashing Machine is this The Rock’s big push for an Oscar?

Why on earth has MI6 joined Instagram?

Who deserves the credit for Warner Brothers’ sudden box office hot streak?

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has bulldozed his way from WWE to Hollywood megastar. But with The Smashing Machine, an A24 production, is he finally angling for Academy recognition, or is this just another blockbuster in disguise?

MI6 is now on Instagram. James Bond may have Q, but does British intelligence really need Reels? Is this about public trust, recruitment… or just trying to look cool online?

At Warner Brothers, Pamela Abdy and Michael De Luca were on the chopping block but after a patient strategy and a bold slate of films, they suddenly look like the studio’s saviours. What does this say about Hollywood risk-taking, storytelling, and the lost art of playing the long game?
