Welcome to Cross Fade: The Movie… or possibly Terrible Editing with Unconvincing Character: The Movie. Vanquish is just… weirdly bad in some fascinating ways. The story isn’t the problem… it doesn’t help, but it’s not a problem. It’s about as … Continue reading
When there’s more entertainment valley gotten from watching an endless train of Top Ten Mandela Effect videos on YouTube than this turgid sf flick, then that’s a real problem. Going down that web video rabbit hole at least provides quicker … Continue reading
