Well, based on the reviews of this movie, I guess I was supposed to absolutely hate it. And certainly if you are the kind of person who is sick and tired of screen-life movies and/or movies about quarantine, I can … Continue reading
Rashomon by way of Florida strippers? Close… just swap out the samurai for hookers on a madcap Florida road trip weekend from hell. I know this is based on a lengthy Twitter thread that I managed to complexly miss back … Continue reading
