All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, starring Amber Heard and directed by Jonathan Levine is a clever thriller that isn’t at all what it seems to be. This movie has such a wickedly delicious twist at the end, that it’s hard to talk much about it without giving anything away. Mandy is a high schooler […]
