Witch Hunt has a clever idea but very low ambitions… or possibly not enough money to carry its ambitions. Not sure which, but what I do know is that it never really lands its ideas and then it mixes in … Continue reading
I suspect I’m entering unpopular opinion territory, but I really enjoyed this Venom sequel. I mostly liked the original but I thought it was too inconsistent and had a rather unmemorable ending. This movie feels more in control of its … Continue reading
Time for another roll-up of classics. I’m stretching the term classic here to include anything 20+ years old… so a couple movies from 2000 are here. I know that’s wrong. That’s a moral and ethical crime. But 20 years man. … Continue reading
