Dark Horse – This movie is awkward and uncomfortable, but I guess that’s pretty much always the case with Todd Solondz’ work. It focuses on a pathetic man-child who lives with his wealthy parents, played by Christopher Walken and Mia … Continue reading →

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Nathan

There’s Only Three Real Monsters

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Nathan
