Synopsis – A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition where the laws of nature don’t apply.

Which makes it quite surprising that … Continue reading Annihilation (2018) Review!!!!

Awards season took another leap forward today as the 2017 Golden Globe nominations were announced. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association spread the love around, but the season’s three biggest contenders—La La Land, Moonlight, and Manchester by the Sea—all had big showings in the major categories, so not any surprises on that front.

Synopsis – A woman asks her ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang out to kill him. My Take – I am not into Western films usually.
