Nicolas Cage is back taking a paycheck for another wacky Nic Cagerific indie horror/action flick and that can be either awesome in its badness or just bad. Sad to say, this not-at-all-inspired-by-five-nights-at-freddys movie is just really mediocre. Mediocre to bad. … Continue reading
I’m one of the mutant weirdos who actually liked the original cut of Justice League. No, not the best superhero movie ever but I had fun with it, despite some reservations about tone and plot inconsistencies. But I can also … Continue reading
Boss Level is kind of a fascinating movie. It’s another time loop film – this time an action flick where the guy has to survive a horde of assassins gunning for him (and figure out why they are tryin to … Continue reading
