Film Review: Kong: Skull Island

Kong is king. Plain and simple.

Film Review: Table 19

If I was making the seating chart for a room full of movies, Table 19 will be happy to know it’s not being relegated to the back of the hall near the bathrooms. That said, it won’t be joining the lower digit tables that everyone would prefer to be sitting at either.
