The previous 360 Days ended on a cliffhanger that this movie just hand-waves away. Whatever drama they were setting up? Nah. Now we have these two lovers getting married and we’re supposed to forget, I guess, all the kidnapping and … Continue reading
I skipped this one back in 2020, but with its sequel racing up the ratings charts (in reverse), I figured it was time to see if this movie actually earns all those half star reviews. It does. It very much … Continue reading
