British Comedy month 3 – In Bruges
Normally I’m not a big fan of black comedies. Sure, individual dark jokes can be hilarious, but when that’s the main focus of a comedy, well … I’d rather watch something that’s more light-hearted if I’m in the mood for … Continue reading

Box Office Bomb month 4 – Strange World
This blog post could also double as Disney Animated Movies 61, but I think I’m done with being a completionist in that sense. I enjoy doing these theme months enough that I’m no longer going to look at every single … Continue reading

Hilariously Bad Movies 7 – Super Mario Bros (1993)
This isn’t hilariously bad in the same manner that any of the other movies I’m featured this month – it’s not even close. Depending on how much you care about movie accuracy when it comes to video game adaptations, you … Continue reading
