Dylan O’Brien is a good actor, though I’ve only seen him in two of the Maze Runner Trilogy (Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. I haven’t yet seen Maze Runner: The Death Cure because I’m not a glutton for punishment. It’s probably apparent that I didn’t like the two I did see WCKD […]

In my review I describe it as “C-Grade Movie with A-List Actors, Direction and Production Design” because that’s how it feels. Life takes a lot […]

Have I mentioned I really hope Ruben Fleicher’s Venom fails? Why so negative, you might ask? Well, I’ll tell you. Fleisher (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) is a competent director, so my issue isn’t with him. And it’s certainly not with Tom Hardy, who appears to be an actor that willing to do his best for a […]
