Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
This sounds like a promising movie. I will be keeping track of this one for sure.
Pfister has done some great work so it will be interesting to watch to see how he handles helming a film.
