Checked out the new Tom Hanks / Emma Watson paranoia drama The Circle. I don’t think it’s getting a lot of reviews and attention… and I’m not sure it really deserves it. But it’d be nice for a couple Hollywood … Continue reading
Checked out the new movie Gifted last night, an utterly charming and sweet movie about an uncle taking care of his sister’s little girl who happens to be a genius. I saw the trailer a number of times but it … Continue reading
