Movie Breakdown: Justice League

Pre-Screening Stance: For a while now I’ve been trying to get myself excited for Justice League, but I just haven’t been able to get over the “yeah whatever” hump.  With that being said, I’ve yet...

Movie Breakdown: Last Flag Flying

Pre-Screening Stance: I’m only going to see Last Flag Flying because it’s directed by Richard Linklater.  I mean, I like the cast, but old guy road trip movies are rarely ever good.  Also, could they...
