Carved is clearly a short film stretched beyond its limits to reach a full length feature. It’s so full of padding and mediocre family drama that it even calls itself out on it. They just should have made it a … Continue reading
This one’s on me… or maybe 50% is a me thing and 50% is the movie. Give or take. Percentages subject to change without notice. But, yeah, my combo of minor face blindness and ignorance of these actors turns a … Continue reading
