Checked out the new twisty crime drama Bad Times at the El Royale. I might be the only person that did based on bad box office this weekend. Apparently Fox continues to half-heartedly market things, what with them being bought … Continue reading
Went to to see the film Life Itself, which is the new movie from the creator of the This is Us tv show (which I’ve never seen). I was hoping this would be a great intro to his writing and … Continue reading
