Checked out the new YA adaptation film The Darkest Minds. This is based on a series of novels I’ve never read so I’m coming in fresh… except that the story seems to be just another version of X-Men… maybe X-Men … Continue reading
Also caught The Spy Who Dumped Me, a new action comedy starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon. Based on the trailers, I went into this expecting little and was mildly surprised… at least for the first hour. The film … Continue reading
