Wow… almost missed this later-career 2021 Bruce Willis “starring” movie… looks like I got a watch in before whatever fresh hell 2022 brings us. Which, for the record, looks like it will contain TWELVE more Bruce Willis takes a paycheck … Continue reading
Don’t Look Up isn’t a particularly good comedy and it isn’t a particularly well-focused social satire, but it is a decent disaster movie. Unfortunately, it wants to be all three of these things but a broken script gets in the … Continue reading
