I don’t know where Moonshot came from and I’m not sure why it ranks an HBO Max release. It feels like a Disney Channel show or a particularly average Netflix original. But, no, it earns its way onto HBO Max … Continue reading
I Am Mortal is a decent if derivative and dopey sci-fi YA movie. It’s set in a future where mankind has been given the gift of immortality… only one guy thinks maybe life is only worth living if its limited. … Continue reading

The 355 is about a team of female agents, each from a different country’s intelligence agency, working together (eventually) to retrieve the most McGuffiny of McGuffins. A doohickey that lets baddies hack anything… cause planes to explode mid-air, shut down … Continue reading
I did NOT laugh fairly often at this scathing, brutal faux-documentary about the 2021 that we all know and hate. Hosted by an interesting list of actors playing fake talking heads, it takes a brutal, direct, and perhaps one-sided assault … Continue reading
