Sometimes you just gotta watch Cinderella take her revenge in a low budget borderline slasher film that throws in a gratuitous sex scene at the very end… and an explosion. Because sometimes… somtimes a little cinder girl needs to get … Continue reading
Sight is a well-intentioned movie saddled with some bad writing, iffy acting, and, above all, too many plots that made me groan every time they switched between them. It’s the true story of a Chinese immigrant eye surgeon who develops … Continue reading
