I did NOT laugh fairly often at this scathing, brutal faux-documentary about the 2021 that we all know and hate. Hosted by an interesting list of actors playing fake talking heads, it takes a brutal, direct, and perhaps one-sided assault … Continue reading
Don’t Look Up isn’t a particularly good comedy and it isn’t a particularly well-focused social satire, but it is a decent disaster movie. Unfortunately, it wants to be all three of these things but a broken script gets in the … Continue reading
Princess Switch 3 – the 2021 Christmas present from this dumb franchise – decides it doesn’t want to be a wacky romantic comedy OR a dumb con-woman flick. No, now it has delusions of being a heist film. Someone has … Continue reading
