Strange World is an alright film. It’s got a sci-fi/adventure feel to it which is fun on the surface. It looks amazing. And it has a plot that’s… alright. Plus it’s chock-a-block full of family drama llama (to its detriment). … Continue reading
My Father’s Dragon is a bit of an unconventional animated fantasy. A little unfocused and maybe underwritten too… but super well-meaning and earnest. I’m just not 100% sure what it all means which might be a flaw in the script … Continue reading

Plot? PLOT? We don’t need nabu nabu sneaka plowa! Yeah, the Minions are back for more throw-darts-at-a-wall silliness and I went from bored to chuckling so often that I just can’t hate the movie. But I’m really not inclined to … Continue reading
