I missed The 4:30 Movie in theaters… it was playing in one theater but I wasn’t aware it was Kevin Smith’s latest. Only found out the day after it closed and have been waiting for a reasonable rental price ever … Continue reading
Time Cut is an interesting problem for a Netflix flasher film. Similar to Totally Killer, it’s a slasher film and a time travel movie and it doesn’t get either quite right, though for different reasons. It’s about a town that … Continue reading
