I didn’t know much more than “there’s crime involved among friends” when I started watching so I won’t say a lot more than that. I gather the trailers give it all away but I avoided those. The film is set … Continue reading
Besides somehow being both a misleading and completely apt title, Mother/Android is a decidedly character and drama-driven sci-fi robo-pocalypse. It gets there through a noticeably low budget and disinterest in world building or explanations. It seems all the helpful human-like … Continue reading
Sex Appeal is a Hulu original film about an overachieving high school girl who is a master at STEM, but a novice at love and sex. Her long-distance boyfriend says he’s DTF (literally) when they meet at the next STEM … Continue reading
