A whole lot of TBD for 2022, but I bet most of them will hit theaters and somehow “Top Gun” won’t. Continue reading

Review: Nostalgia, 2018, dir. Mark Pellington
Watching Nostalgia, I never got a sense of who made it, or even who wrote it; the former is Mark Pellington, the latter is Alex Ross Perry, a guy I don’t associate with mush.
