The Retreat is a movie that suffers from the weird decision to film it in the dark. The movie has long sequences at night (or inside without lights) that are so black I could barely see anything at all. This … Continue reading
On tonight’s episode of Low Expectations Theater: Boss Baby 2! I saw the original film and thought it wasn’t very good but it had moments of creativity and inventiveness (within its weird plot). And, because I’m stupid, I went to … Continue reading
