I feel like every other post I'm starting off a review by apologizing for general lateness. I saw the new horror film Abigail about two weeks ago, but have held off on rating it until now. There's no extenuating circumstance. I've just been tired. Even today, I basically checked out of work midway through the … Continue reading Spoiling Yourself – Abigail
Even though I made fun of the trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and apparently poked the bear so hard that trolls were suggesting I end myself as penance, I do dedicate myself to being as fair as I can possibly be to every movie I see.
