Make no mistake; the movie does earn its R-rating. However, at the same time, I couldn’t help, but wonder what was cut… Continue reading Review: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY
Review: KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) As the closing credits to this film concluded, I thought to myself, “It’s too early in the year for a movie this good.” My thought refers to the fact that the months of January and February are the dumping grounds for Hollywood’s mediocre and worst films.… Continue reading Review: KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE
