Rented the documentary For the Love of Spock, which is kind of embarrassing to say. But it’s a pretty good documentary about the life and career of Leonard Nimoy as directed and narrated by his son. It has some good … Continue reading
The 9th Life of Louis Drax is a very strange R rated children’s movie… or something. To be fair, I’d not heard of this movie – no trailers, never heard of the book, only knew a couple of the stars … Continue reading
