Being a bit grimmer, I rented the film Flower, a teen dark comedy. Gave this one a shot after seeing it compared to the (also dark comedy) Thoroughbreds which I’d liked earlier this year. This one isn’t quite as good … Continue reading
The Nun is the fifth film in the improbably Conjuring cinematic universe. It’s a prequel to all the other films (some of which are already prequels)… the Conjuring (very good), Conjuring 2 (good), Annabelle (very bad), and Annabelle: Creation (surprisingly … Continue reading
