Robin Hood (2018) Review

Unbreakable (2000) Review

Posted on January 19, 2019 by

Unbreakable (2000) is such a strange beast in the recent history of cinema. First of all, it is a superhero movie, but it is a meta-superhero movie that looks at the superhero genre and presents a superhero origin story in … Continue reading →
