I thought, this better be good or the noise around it will be an absolute nightmare beyond what it already was. It is a MCU movie though, and … [Read more…]
Eight times to the theater in the month of December. Overall, it was an absurdly good month. Not a single movie that I saw fell under a B. I don’t think that’s ever happened before.
