The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two is the kind of sequel that brings with it very low expectations, especially when the plot reveals itself. The original film – about a rock ‘n roll Santa played by Kurt Russel – was a … Continue reading
I wasn’t expecting anything when I rented Words on Bathroom Walls… all I knew about it was that it was an early post-closing theatrical release and that it starred Charlie Plummer who was just in the last movie I saw … Continue reading
