Emily the Criminal represents a side of Aubrey Plaza we don’t see very often. She leaves behind her usual bag of tricks (which I adore) and gives us a stripped down, no-nonsense, tough-as-nails character. I probably knew she had it … Continue reading
Jeepers Creepers: Reborn is the fourth film in this franchise and you can draw a line graph in quality that you could ski down. Part 1 was better than 2, part 3 was worse than 2… but part 4 makes … Continue reading
