Birth of the Dragon Review: A Film That Only Rubs The Surface

August 29, 2017

Birth of the Dragon only scratches the surface of the life of Bruce Lee and the biggest crime here is that the runtime doesn’t allow a greater story to be told.

The Dark Tower Review: A Missed Opportunity

August 4, 2017

The Dark Tower suffers from not having enough time to tell the story that was needed. Missed opportunity is what you will hear repeated by critics and fans and they are correct. However, don’t let the RT score fool you, the film isn’t as bad as advertised, but it is a disappointment for those who have been waiting years to see this story told on the big screen. … More The Dark Tower Review: A Missed Opportunity
