Ash was a roller coaster… one with a five minute chain ride up a hill with a thirty second ride on the other side. It’s a rather slow and frustrating “we aren’t telling you anything” premise that eventually gets to … Continue reading
Revelations is a crime thriller from the director of Train to Busan… which isn’t as much of a plus as I’d have liked. It borrows a lot from Prisoners and a few other films to deliver half of a good … Continue reading
