I didn’t have a lot of faith (har) in The Last Voyage of the Demeter and certainly its first twenty minutes had me slumped in my seat… but the movie surprisingly pulls through to deliver a movie with real… bite … Continue reading
In my review of The Meg, I groused that it wasn’t half as fun as the marketing suggested. That they took themselves too seriously. And the first half of The Meg 2 follows in the same boat (submersible?). But then … Continue reading
