Hold Your Breath is a generic title for a movie with an interesting, unique, and rarely mentioned time in American history… and with (the potential for) a unique villain <glances suspiciously at the dust I haven’t cleaned off my tv … Continue reading
The Outrun is, in fact, not an adaptation of the Sega racing franchise Outrun. Tt’s about as opposite from a video game about racing Ferrraris as you can get. And I’m largely ok with that because: Saoirse Ronan > Ferrari. … Continue reading
