60 Minutes is a German Netflix film with a premise that promised crackling, bare-knuckle, fast-paced brawling in 60 real-time minutes. In practice, it falls way short. The film is about MMA fighter who bails on his bout in order to … Continue reading
I.S.S. sounds like a movie designed for me… a total Gravity aficionado. Give me more realistic Low Earth Orbit (or high, or on Mars… I’m easy) movies and I would be a happy camper. But a (Russian) bear came along … Continue reading
