It is with a heavy heart that I must report that legendary comedian Carl Reinerhas passed away at the age of 98.
Ed. Note: The following is my unpublished review of Just Mercy, a very good little film from January. While I wasn’t planning on publishing it, the fact it is available to rent for free on most streaming services in response to the recent...
I hope you’ve all had a pleasant couple of weeks out there as quarantines around the country seem to taper off – at least for now. I’ve used this time to watch a few films up for review, which I’m hoping to have done in the near future. First we...
