Directed By: Morten Tyldum Written By: Jon Spaihts Runtime: 116 minutes I heard about the premise of this one a few years ago when the project was still stuck in development hell and for some time it was meant to be a vehicle for Keanu Reeves. Well, now we've got two of the biggest young …
Christmas Weekend Recap: Scrooged + binging on Westworld
Happy last Tuesday of the year folks! Hope you had a lovely Christmas break. Mine is relatively mellow on Christmas day, though we did go up North to Duluth Friday and spent the night there to see the Bentleyville Tour of Lights (I've shared the pics here). We came back in time for Christmas Eve …
