Welcome to 2020, ladies and gentlemen! We made it to a whole new decade. First of all, as always (and slightly belatedly) I want to wish every single one of you a very hearty and sincere Happy New Year. Hopefully you all had a fun and safe sendoff to …
2020 is going to have some really interesting films. Of course, we’ll have to get through a tough early part of the year (more on that tomorrow), but that’s always the case. Today, for our first post of the new decade and new year, we̵…
