Wildling 2018 Film
 [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Wildling (2018) is a werewolf flick One part Thale (2012), another part Ginger Snaps (2000), it isn't the worst werewolf movie in the world — but it is definitely problematic Throughout history, shape-shifting carnivores have been part of myths; usually representing people who have turned away from society and its cultural or religious rules, and therefore have[...]

Rampage
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Let's face it: whenever we see a trailer featuring Dwayne Johnson in the midst of some over-the-top action film, we know that the charm will come from watching him chewing up the scenery In recent years it has only become more of a truism — from Moana to Baywatch to Jumanji, it's been clear[...]
