Sitting in Bars with Cake is an unusual title for a movie with a mildly familiar premise. It starts unique though… two besties bake cake and take them to bars to meet guys. But one of them gets cancer and … Continue reading
I really didn’t like The Nun back in 2018… it had good production values but was otherwise a very generic horror flick. But in the grand tradition of throwing good money after bad, I went to see The Nun II … Continue reading
