Checked out the new historical drama All the Money in the World. This is the true story of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty’s grandson in the mid 1970s and the attempt to rescue him without much help from the … Continue reading
I saw Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the sequel (and it is a sequel) to the original Robin Williams movie from the 90s. I didn’t care much for the original movie but the trailers on this one looked decent so … Continue reading

Checked out a Russian superhero movie called Guardians. This is, I guess, what happens when really dumb American movies can be made with some technical competence in other countries. Congratulations world… make your own dumb movies. The film’s most … Continue reading
