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?
