Family Pack is a Netflix family-friendly French horror/comedy (with emphasis on comedy) time travel legally distinct Jumanji knock-off. It also borrows amusingly and heavily from Werewolf… and Ultimate Werewolf, One Night Werewolf, and One Week Ultimate Werewolf. And Loup Garou, … Continue reading
I generally liked the first two Venom films which is why I’m disappointed – but not surprised – the third one came out so wonky. It’s in Sony’s nature to push too hard on their borrowed Marvel characters and screw … Continue reading
