The inaudible and unseen moments in a person’s life slowly spiral into irreversible changes. The most important things don’t take place in the things that the dialogue says. I think we’ve all been through this truth with some indignation, but how to achieve it in a film is difficult to do, more so when those …
It is no secret that I have devoted countless hours within the realms of Gearbox Software and 2K Games’ “Borderlands” and Its sequels – I have been gazing into this gorgeous, addicting structure that invites to explore, play together, and keep seeking for newer and newer guns to spray masses of foes (I have expressed …
Running on Empty’ (you will note there are many films titled exactly that but this particular film is not the one of admirable title and fame by Sidney Lumet although there is the same name song by Jackson Browne) starts with that interesting plot but sadly gets to be at that level all over the …
