House of Gucci is a movie I went to reluctantly… and, indeed, bailed on going to for three or four days until boredom drove me to the theater (it happens). I don’t have a fashion sense and, indeed, it may … Continue reading
This low stakes, high concept film was cruising for a super average review until, out of nowhere, I realized I was not only kind of enjoying it, but I was liking (some of) the characters. That’s hardly fair. Multiverse takes … Continue reading
