‘Deep Blue Sea’ Remains One Of The Best Killer Shark Flicks
In college, I worked as a night supervisor for the housing department. This meant from about 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., I was assigned to one or more residence halls, where I would make sure all the doors are properly secured and things aren’t getting too out of hand.

‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot
The Russo Brothers (Joe and Anthony) had some big expectations after they’re back-to-back success of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers:Endgame. I’d argue they basically boosted abilities of the MCU with their hit films Captain America: The Winter Soldier (the best so far) and Captain America: Civil War (which seemed like a pseudo-Avengers movie). They weren’tContinue reading “‘The Gray Man’ Lacks Any Colorful Characters Or Plot”
