Check out the Peter Jackson written and produced sci-fi flick Mortal Engines… note the marketing wants you to think he directed it too but he didn’t. The guy who did is one of his FX collaborators on various Lord of … Continue reading
Also rented (after missing it… but not REALLY missing it… at the theater) the kids animated click Smallfoot. I fully admit to expecting to hate this silly looking film with a terrible trailer… but in the middle of hate-watching it, … Continue reading

Checked out the new Melissa McCarthey drama (!!) Can You Ever Forgive Me? a few days ago. I say drama but it’s more dramady… with a small dose of one the more surprisingly tense heist scenes I’ve seen in a … Continue reading
