When the most interesting thing about your werewolf movie is that its a mini-reunion of Game of Thrones actors, you’ve done something wrong. But, yeah, we get Kit Harrington (complete with pelts) and James Cosmo (who played Lord Commander Mormont) … Continue reading
Hold onto your butts… I don’t want to blow your minds or anything, but The Mouse Trap – the Steamboat Willie/Mickey Mouse is in the Public Domain exploitation flick – is a pretty shitty movie. Yes, this is the sad … Continue reading
