After doing a knee-jerk one year delay when Covid hit (as opposed to constantly delaying the release date like most movies did), the new Fast and the Furious movie is out now. I went to see it, despite my tenuous … Continue reading
Infinite is dumb as a box of rocks. It’s also slickly produced and it looks good. But it also has a numbskull script that can’t get out of its own way and piteously poor narration that suggests the screenwriter, director, … Continue reading
