WATCH NOW “Legend” straddles the genres of crime thriller and biopic, telling the tale of twin gangsters, Ronald and Reginald Kray, who had a lot of pull in East London during the 1950s and 60s. This film like most crime thrillers had a lot of problems but the most profound to me was the last
WATCH NOW “Enemy Mine” is like camping out on a planetary battlefield somewhere in the future. It is a story that goes hand-in-hand with the book *Robinson Crusoe,” particularly on a planet named Fyrine IV. It is set around a grim red volcanic landscape of the red planet laced with meteors and extremely cold weather.
