“We’re A Very Odd Family, Charles. There’s Lots of Ruthlessness in Us.”
Lately, Mek and I have been on something of an Agatha Christie kick, so recently we checked out an adaptation of one of her novels–a novel, coincidentally, that neither of us have read: Crooked House. There’s potential here. But there … Continue reading

“Better Swim, Rennie, Before Jason Pulls You Down.”

“John Wick, The Man, The Myth, The Legend. You’re Not Very Good At Retiring.”
I didn’t love John Wick the way other people did, but I enjoyed it well enough to Netflix the sequel. The verdict? I liked it. Probably more than the first one, honestly.

“I’m Mary Poppins, Y’all!”
Well, I finally went to see Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2. I’ve seen people on both sides of this one, but personally I thought it was pretty great.

“Cars Can’t Fly, Dom! Cars Can’t Fly!”
Well, I reviewed Fast and Furious 6. Might as well review Furious 7. When it comes to one-upping the previous movie on completely ludicrous stunts . . . this is a “hold my beer” franchise, isn’t it?
