by Mark Miller | May 2, 2016

Fair warning, I saw this the day after I attended the Calgary Expo and was suffering from what could only be described as a Convention Hangover. Not that I got drunk - I didn’t. But it turns out that driving up to Calgary highly caffeinated without drinking much...

I see what you were doing there, Hardcore Henry. First Person Shooter as a movie genre is fairly original, I have to say. And as a proof of concept, it works, it really does: the FPS plot can be adapted to a movie. Well done. But it didn’t really work for me,...

by Mark Miller | Apr 4, 2016

Eye in the Sky is not my genre. It involves the military, which doesn’t interest me much. It’s not animated, the color saturation is low. But it was either this or some god movie so I decided to give Eye in the Sky a chance. Usually when I venture off-genre I...
