‘Dragged Across Concrete’ Is MAGA Porn
Before I begin this post, let me preface I like movies and stories where the main characters aren’t the most likable. But there has to be some dimension to characters.

‘The Wolf Of Snow Hollow” Is An Awful Horror Movie That Makes No Sense
WARNING: This contains spoilers, but you’ll thank me. I didn’t know who Jim Cummings is when I started watching The Wolf of Snow Hollow and I still don’t know how he was able to make a movie like this.
