Pre-Screening Stance: These movies have gotten better and better ever since JJ Abrams righted the franchise’s ship with his Mission: Impossible 3. Personally, I think Fallout looks as though it may end up being the...

Pre-Screening Stance: Upgrade looks bonkers. Hard not to be excited about it. Post-Screening Ramble: Unfortunately, I found Upgrade to be more of a chore than anything else. I was expecting a healthy mix of sci...
