The visual world is fascinating, but the story lays an egg. I’m a slow learner when it comes to some of today’s modern amenities. You know smart homes, smart watches, and smart […]
The Pod Generation
Barbie
A plastic movie with a real heart and colorful laughs. The routine of playing with Barbie dolls is simple. She wakes up all happy, takes showers with no running water, eats her […]
The Out-Laws

Asteroid City

Emily
Whatever their souls are made from, Emma and Emily are the same here. Emily Brontë died too young at the age of 30, but was best known for her only novel “Wuthering […]
