So I checked out the profoundly weird and possibly outright misguided movie The Book of Henry over the weekend. This flick is about a mom who can’t deal with the complexities of life so she relies on her 11 … Continue reading
So I unenthusiastically dragged myself to see Cars 3. I thought the first movie was… ok, I guess. Cars 2 was pretty bad and the Non-Pixar Planes spinoffs were about the same. So I’m rather shocked to say that, despite … Continue reading
