As a guy who spent most of his life casually NOT watching the original House Party, I finally decided to check it out three years ago. It was fine… maybe I wasn’t the target market, maybe it just wasn’t the … Continue reading
The Tomorrow Job is like a D grade clone of a Christopher Nolan film. An interesting idea executed poorly. A science fiction heist film with a time travel premise with doubtful utility and a heist plotline that fails to crackle. … Continue reading
