Strays is a massive coat of matted cognitive dissonance for me. On the one paw, sometimes it was just a bad movie… on the other paw, it would nip me with clever and smart dog jokes. When the flick ended, … Continue reading
Compared to some other glossy Netflix spy/action flicks, Heart of Stone is pretty ok. It’s no Extraction with its minimalist plot but maximalist action but it’s also no Red Notice with its stupidity and… umm… it’s stupidity. You could do … Continue reading
