The Midway Point: 2025
The first half of 2025 has meme trouble, money trouble, and star power. You know what time it is? It’s time for me to commemorate on the best and worst movies I […]

I Don’t Understand You
An accidental murder comedy that could have been livelier. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but before my family and I flew to Italy in 2012, I heard two people speaking in […]
