Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays a disgraced journalist who stumbles onto a wave of religious miracles obscuring a malevolent history in the latest from Sam Raimi s Ghost House Pictures.

Netflix dropped it’s first trailer for
I Care a Lot, starring Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage, and it’s deliciously twisted. Women, like the one Pike plays in this movie, are often get given the role of carer. They are the ones who step up, take care of the young and elderly, and make sure everything is right as rain.
