Cerebral… Movie #128 2021: Room 237 (2012) 15 May 202111 May 2021 Everyone knows Stanley Kubrick adapted The Shining into a movie. Many people know that the author of the original book (Stephen King) despised that movie. I'm one of those people…

Awards Season… Movie #126 2021: The Mauritanian (2021) 13 May 20214 May 2021 Most people were extremely 'meh' in their reactions to The Mauritanian, so I completely expected to feel similarly about it. Weirdly, it seems as though I enjoyed this movie much…
