The Menu

A private and exclusive dinner on a remote island hosted by a famous chef. Sounds like the perfect evening...which is true unless, of course, the chef is a psychopath!

*Show is still airing* Number of episodes: 10 (new episodes premiere on Wednesdays) I didn’t want to like this. If it wasn’t Nick Cage running around a national monument I didn’t want it.

Black Adam

So a made-up Middle Eastern country has been taken over by terrorists and a 500-year-old demigod is summoned to help. This movie is all over the place, like Pierce Brosnan being a … Continue reading Black Adam
