Movie Preview: “Final Destination: Bloodlines”
I always liked the “Final Destination” movies, with their obsession with coincidence and “death’s grand design” that seals your fate, especially if you’re young and you’ve somehow dodged a bullet. Or fatal plane crash or lumber truck accident. “Bloodlines” will … Continue reading

Movie Preview: “The Last Days of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette” — “The Deluge”

Movie Preview: “M3GAN 2.0”
