Grief is a transformative force. It distorts the mind, twisting it into places we could never imagine. This subject is becoming familiar territory for filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou. Yet, the path they embark on in Bring Her Back differs from the cruel chaos of Talk to Me. A mother’s grief unlocks the most monstrous parts of her psyche, taking the audience to unimaginably dark places that they may never be able to escape once the credits start rolling.

Wait no further as Amazon MGM releases the trailer for My Spy The Eternal City (the title does not include a colon punctuation). The film is set to hit home screens on July 18.

The official synopsis reads,

“The eagerly awaited follow-up to 2020’s action comedy, My Spy The Eternal City, reunites a beloved cast led by Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman in a feel-good family adventure set in some of Europe’s most storied destinations. When Sophie’s (Coleman) high school choir is selected for an Italian tour culminating...
