Plane
Plane might just be the most 3 star a movie can get. A perfectly ok action flick that gets the job done. You want more? Go watch a better movie. You want worse? Plenty worse out there. The flick stars … Continue reading

I was on the fence about Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva because it was yet another nearly three hour long Indian film of unknown quality, origin, and actors. But it showed up on IMAX 3D so I figured there must be … Continue reading
