Trap (Movie Review)
We're back with another review, this time it's M. Night Shyamalan's new Josh Hartnett starring thriller Trap, featuring music from his daughter Saleka Shyamalan, Kid Cudi and Russ, for some reason. Is there a big M. Night twist ending? Let's get into it.
I've been out of work all summer and I'm still trying to reach the goal for my moving/temporary housing fund. Links below:

Deadpool & Wolverine (Movie Review) [NO SPOILERS]
Переглядів 5545 місяців тому
I'm back with a spoiler-free review of Deadpool & Wolverine, a movie that is pretty difficult to talk about if you can't discuss its many "surprises" and elaborate bits of fan service.
