Review of Morgan (2016)

Review of Ghostbusters (2016)

By Kristian M. Lin (336) for Fort Worth Weekly (325) on 27 Jul 2016

As either an effects-heavy comedy or a laugh-heavy sci-fi thriller, this is better than much of what I've seen this summer…

Review of Thor (2011)

By Kristian M. Lin (336) for Fort Worth Weekly (325) on 17 Jul 2016
