Excited to see Matthew Vaughn’s take on the franchise – I loved Layer Cake – I was thrilled to learn he was on board for this new X-Men prequel. And, I should say, I really, really, really enjoyed the majority of this film and I really wanted to give it a five out of five,… [Read more…]
Okay so I’m glad that Mr. Baratunde Thurston so eloquently and passionately summed up what so many of us were feeling about the blatant and racist slap in the face perpetrated by Donald Trump and the Media. It was spot on. I won’t ruminate too long about Donald Trump, although one thing I will say… [Read more…]
