Summer Break and Beyond
Difficult to believe that it’s back to school in just over two weeks for me. In cinematic terms, that means we’re about 2/3 of the way through summer movie season (at least how I reckon it). In a bit of … Continue reading

Independence, Resurgence, and Collapse
Last weekend, and against the better judgment of Rotten Tomatoes, I caught a showing of Independence Day: Resurgence. The movie is decent. The effects were amazing (and made me wish I had chosen the 3D route). The script was okay. … Continue reading
