Gave a watch to the new Hulu original film Palm Springs. This is, frankly, a Groundhog Day movie… a time loop comedy. That’s about all I knew going in – that and its good reviews – so I was pleasantly … Continue reading
True story: all Hollywood tough guy action stars are required (by law) to star in a movie with cute little kids. What else could possibly explain why Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Hulk Hogan, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, John Cena, and … Continue reading
