There is no doubt that the story of Margaret and Walter Keane deserves telling and that it is very interesting but is it worth a whole movie? The story boils down to Margaret Keane drawing the iconic “Big Eyed” children and … Continue reading Big Eyes (2014) Review
What If… is a self-indulgent look at how things could have been. I take an event or a rumour and let my imagination run wild. It’s rarely based on fact and completely based on guess-work and conjecture. Reboots rarely do … Continue reading What If… The Reboots/Remakes Came First?
