Knives are out for Borderlands… very low critic scores, pretty low (so far) LB ratings, based on a video game, delayed for a long, long time, and a pretty iffy trailer. So color me surprised when I had a blast … Continue reading
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film start out so scattered and be able to pull out just in time to turn in a pretty great film. But make no mistake, I found the first half pretty mediocre. I … Continue reading
