Army of the Dead is the marriage of so many inspirations, calling it an original film would be dubious. It’s a zombie action Vegas heist film that borrows ideas from other flicks like I am Legend (or, perhaps, Land of … Continue reading
Finding You is such a generic movie title, I had forgotten it a half-dozen times before I reached my desk to write this down. The movie itself is largely forgettable as well… and, in my book, overly long and excessively … Continue reading
