Dear lord… I think I’m traumatized. I’ve been on this Earth a long time and I’ve seen some seriously messed up movies… but The Substance might just be the most f’ed up thing I’ve ever seen in a theater. To … Continue reading
I rented this Chinese flick because it sounded like an inspiration story of self-improvement… and as I sat there on my Velcro seat, that was something I wanted to see. I also figured odds of it being a cringe-fest were … Continue reading
