Blink Twice
Blink Twice is a bit of a problem movie. It has a good setup but it slogs down in the middle before delivering a pretty great finale. It’s such a good ending that it blew past my three stars and … Continue reading

Just. One. Mile.
I added Just. One. Mile. to my watchlist after podcaster Jeff Cannata gushed about it emotionally on The Filmcast. There it sat for a year until it qualified as the least watched movie in my list. Which is a little … Continue reading
