I generally liked the first two Venom films which is why I’m disappointed – but not surprised – the third one came out so wonky. It’s in Sony’s nature to push too hard on their borrowed Marvel characters and screw … Continue reading
I fully expected to hate this film… because I haven’t liked ANY of the previous Hellboy movies. Yes, even Del Toro’s two and the much maligned 2019 David Harbour one. I thought I’d watch it half-jokingly for Halloween even though … Continue reading
