In The Cage: Can I enjoy movies anymore?

Posted 3:41pm Sunday 11th May 2025 by Jordan Irvine

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin is probably only notable for the fact that it is another period piece so the Cage has an Italian accent that is more Mario than Chris Pratt was. It is devastatingly long and watching it after Sinners – one of the best films to come out this year, by the way Read more...
