This one’s on me… or maybe 50% is a me thing and 50% is the movie. Give or take. Percentages subject to change without notice. But, yeah, my combo of minor face blindness and ignorance of these actors turns a … Continue reading
For the first half of Platform 2, I was wondering what all the negativity was about. I kind of loved the first film for its simple social metaphor. It was a Twilight Zone / Black Mirror type message film but … Continue reading
