Space Sweepers is an enjoyable outer space romp with a fun, adventurous spirit and a surprising amount of ambition (if also a little over the top and noisy). It’s a South Korean film with a big budget, some pretty snazzy … Continue reading
I was rather surprised and pleased by this horror/suspense film. I didn’t expect much going in, that’s for sure. It’s a film in the “city folk go out into the country and run afoul of the rubes” movie mixed a … Continue reading
