Courtesy terribleminds If you don’t know who Chuck Wendig is by now… First of all, watch this. Second of all, what the hell is wrong with you?

Robocop (2014) My initial reaction? “Meh.” It wasn’t terrible, by any stretch, but I wasn’t blown away by it. I liked some of the things… Continue reading 500 Words On Two Movies
