There were moments in watching this film in the theater where my main thought was, “gosh. I wish I was back home playing Horizon: Forbidden West”. But then the movie would pop off with some patently ridiculous action scene and … Continue reading
I found Through My Window to be a perfectly good version of one of these: a straight forward romance film. Not a romantic comedy but a blunt, forthright torrid romance. Unapologetically a romance. The film stars a cute newcomer (Clara … Continue reading
The Tiger Rising is a pretty decent little family drama that shares some DNA (but not the heart-wrenching agony) of My Girl and Bridge to Terabithia. It has, at its heart, a nice conundrum for its kids but it really … Continue reading
