Slow Burner

Brightburn, KS I saw Brightburn a couple of weekends ago. It has a very small cast, a very simple plot, and does a decent job of telling its story. The basic premise of the film is that young Brandon Breyer has been the perfect child for his parents, Tori and Kyle, but after hitting twelveContinue reading “Slow Burner”

Is It Time To “Walk” Off?

No More Pudding Last night’s episode of The Walking Dead left me with a lot of questions.  Most of them weren’t about why certain things went down in the episode.  No, they were primarily about why I watch the show and have loyally done so for eight seasons and whether or not I want toContinue reading “Is It Time To “Walk” Off?”
