Spiderhead feels like it exists for one purpose: to give Chris Hemsworth a meaty acting gig that proves he’s more than just Thor (or a goofy comedian). And, hey, if that was the goal then they achieved it. This is … Continue reading
Most of this Toy Story spinoff feels like a generic space adventure that someone, early on in development, glued a Toy Story connection onto in order to get folks to rush out to the the theater. In other words, no … Continue reading
