Checked out the new Matt Damon film Suburbicon and my main take-away is that the trailers are full of lies and are deliberately hiding the more uncomfortable content lest they turn off potential ticket buyers. But that’s just marketing, it … Continue reading
Went to see the BBC-produced movie Victoria & Abdul, an odd little movie about how Queen Victoria (Queen of England and Empress of India) became friends with an Indian servant against the wishes of just about everyone who worked for … Continue reading
