Spiderhead feels like it exists for one purpose: to give Chris Hemsworth a meaty acting gig that proves he’s more than just Thor (or a goofy comedian). And, hey, if that was the goal then they achieved it. This is … Continue reading
Netflix presents: a movie dumb as a box of rocks. A script full of hammy cheesetastic corny lines of buff studmuffin dialog. And maybe a little bit of just-go-with-it fun… at least for awhile. And then you just want them … Continue reading
