So I could copy and paste my review of every other Transformers movie for my review of Transformers: The Last Knight… but I won’t. I will say many of the same things but I’d also add this is slightly more … Continue reading
The latest remake of The Mummy (staring Tom Cruise as not-the-mummy) is also the latest attempt to launch a Universal Monsters cinematic universe (previously attempted and failed with the NOT-starring-tom-cruise Dracula Untold). This new movie is not an auspicious start … Continue reading
