So the latest Disney live-action remake of a classic animated flick is at theaters. Tim Burton’s version of Dumbo… and that sentence contains two triggers for me. I do not like the original animated Dumbo movie. As a kid, I … Continue reading
Finally finished the new Netflix original movie Triple Frontier. This is a tough-guy action flick with an interesting cast. While not the best movie, easily one of their better Netflix originals. I mean, it’s no Cloverfield Paradox! :-p So … Continue reading
