REVIEW: Madame Web (2024)
Madame Web may be the first movie I’ve seen where the red carpet premiere was more interesting than the film itself. Granted, the red carpet premiere featured this showdown, but the larger point is that this is one terrible movie. Every aspect of Madame Web is a catastrophe; it’s laden down wi...
