Nature As Nemesis In The Movies: Life, Kong: Skull Island, The Bay, Nature’s Grave, And Dark Harbor

The acting is good, even if the plot unfolds like a story my 12-year old would make up. Cue the excitable, tween voice: …and then an exchange student comes for
On My Netflix: Leave, A Late Quartet, and The Dinosaur Project
March 26, 2014 – Posted in: Film ReviewOn my Netflix viewing schedule were three films on death: Leave with Bryan Cranston and Ron Livingston is good marketing and good editing.
