robot_boob | Dec 19, 2024 | 0
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is a kids’ movie with an identity crisis. I had a vision of Santa Claus riding his sleigh with all those reindeer telling me so. It’s not a Christmas movie. It’s not an action movie. It’s not a comedy. It’s not a drama. It’s a kids’ movie. I had to keep …
REVIEW: The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (2024)
