Maybe the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie was a surprise butContinue reading “‘Mario Brothers Movie’ Superior To 1993 Film But Not All That Super”

‘Day Of The Dead’ Finally Gets Its Due

It’s a law of all franchises that usually the third movie suffers a lot with quality and even at the box office. Look at Alien 3, Terminator 3, Scream 3, Mission: Impossible 3 (just admit it compared to everything since Ghost Proctocol), and even Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome suffered a little.

Then after the sinkingContinue reading “‘Taking Care of Maya’ Asks Us Where Do We Draw The Line On Child Abuse”

If you’re expecting Anna Kendrick in something like Sleeping With the Enemy or Enough, then, you’ll be mistaken. It’s a movieContinue reading “‘Alice, Darling’ Is An Eye-Opener To Abuse Many People Endure”
