THE PROM: 3 STARS Director Ryan Murphy returns to familiar territory with “The Prom,” a high school musical adapted from a Broadway show now streaming on Netflix. The creator of the pop culture juggernaut “Glee” throws subtlety out the window and ups the ante with an all-star cast to bring the all-singing-all-dancing story of inclusivity to glittery life.

With all the nuance of a troll screaming "First!" on a message board, Adam Masons "Songbird" is a film that arguably shouldnt exist.

The movie had a...

Songbird Film Review: Theres No Point to This Tacky COVID-sploitation Thriller TheWrap 12/10/2020 © TheWrap Songbird No doubt far more fascinating than "Songbird" is the behind-the-scenes story of how this film was even made in the first place, shot entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic with most cast members interacting with as few other performers as possible.
