Mission: Impossible – Fallout

I'm trying to remember how many of these Mission: Impossible movies I've seen. Even after watching this one, I recall nothing about any of them save the 1996 original in...

I am just killing it with these year-old movies! Movies based on 152-year-old books. I'm honestly not sure why I wanted to see this to begin with. It is definitely not...

Parasite

Yes, I am the last person on Earth to see Parasite. And I've decided that's okay. It's almost a challenge these days to avoid spoilers. It's not just like the old days...

Snowpiercer

I'd had Snowpiercer sitting in my queue for quite a while. It's so right up my alley I have no clue what was keeping me from firing it up. Maybe it was the fear that it...
