The Chinese science-fiction mega-hit “The Wandering Earth” is quite the movie. It’s a massive visual spectacle that stands as China’s second highest grossing film of all time. Just as impressive, it sits among the top 25 highest grossing science-fiction films ever made. That’s quite an accomplishment for director Frant Gwo. Now Netflix has picked up … Continue reading
The Throwdown : USS Enterprise vs. Millennium Falcon
Just what is The Throwdown you ask? It’s a feature where we take two movie subjects and pit them against each other and see who’s left standing.
