Nimona had some development woes but finally landed on Netflix… and good on them for saving it. I hit play without any expectations having not really paid much attention to the backstage drama. I’m happy to report that it was … Continue reading
Ruby Gillman is not a movie without charm, but it borrows so many ideas from other (better) films that it becomes a bit of a predictable time-waster. Though I imagine its target market of tweens will probably enjoy it. The … Continue reading
