Bagman is a thread-bare premise draped lazily over alleged folklore from across time and cultures. Which was a bit of hubbaloo in the middle of a film that barely has a plot to begin with. It’s about a couple with … Continue reading
I fully expected to hate this film… because I haven’t liked ANY of the previous Hellboy movies. Yes, even Del Toro’s two and the much maligned 2019 David Harbour one. I thought I’d watch it half-jokingly for Halloween even though … Continue reading
Carved is clearly a short film stretched beyond its limits to reach a full length feature. It’s so full of padding and mediocre family drama that it even calls itself out on it. They just should have made it a … Continue reading
