Ready or Not Review

This was a film that snuck up on me, and I guess a lot of other people. When the trailer for this came out, having heard nothing about it beforehand, I got excited for the film, and watching the film, I had a great time with it.

Rambo: Last Blood Review

I won’t beat around the bush here, I hated this film. I went into this wanting to see something more mature and reflective about the character of John Rambo, something along the lines of Rocky Balboa or the Creed films which would give another one of Sylvester Stallone’s iconic characters a fitting end.
