“The Promise” (2017) Review
Movies such as The Promise can make history come alive in a way that no other medium can. I can still recall being bored out of my mind by junior […]
“Unforgettable” (2017) Review

“Batman Returns” Review
Of the many Batman movies released in the 1990s, Batman Returns (1992) is by far the most dark. Needlessly dark, in fact. It’s as if Tim Burton was so embarrassed […]
