Settlers is about a colony on Mars… cool… wait… they are breathing the atmosphere? And living in a lone settlement with only three people? What’s going on here? This seems impractical. Is this Mars or is it just Arizona with … Continue reading
You’d think a movie about blood-sucking locusts would be a fun (or insufferable) B movie. But, no, leave it to the French to give us a story about a struggling small business owner with family drama who is trying her … Continue reading
