Hollywood Epics 2 – Cleopatra (1963)

Ridley Scott month 3 – Blade Runner
Even if I wasn’t spending a month focusing on Ridley Scott movies, Blade Runner is worth fitting into a fairly nerdy blog that’s been doing a variety of movies for a while now. It’s often considered to be among the … Continue reading
