So I liked Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 more than the first one… though I would understand why many wouldn’t. Now, I liked Guardians Vol 1 but I didn’t like it nearly as much as some – it was … Continue reading
Checked out Logan, the latest – but certainly not the most typical – X-Men movie. As you may have heard, this is a tough R rated Wolverine movie with graphic violence and swearing. This is, I think, a great example … Continue reading
