So I checked out an Indian language / Bollywood film called War. My local theater actually gets a pretty decent number of Indian (as in: filmed in India) movies, none of which I see because A) I don’t know what … Continue reading
Checked out the new Judy Garland biopic Judy… a movie that really needs a Judy Garland fan to really enjoy. I am not a huge Garland fan… I have passing familiarity with her as far as it goes. A movie … Continue reading

So It: Chapter 2 is out this weekend. The (obvious) sequel to It 2017 (or It: Chapter 1 as it called itself only at the start of the end credits). This flick has the same writer/director, brings back the kids, … Continue reading
