Favorite Top 10: Children of Men (Potentially my favorite movie of all time)
UMR Snub (Too High/Too Low): The reboot Planet of the Apes are to high and Children of Men is way to low.
Guilty Pleasure: Cabin Fever is pretty entertaining.
Hey Bryan. Thanks for stopping by and checking out our buyers movie page. Sadly this is a subject that everybody’s talking about these days. Awesome Talley count for you I am impressed. I agree Children of Men is excellent movie. Sadly really didn’t do that much of the box office and got no awards love. I thought some of the camera work was awesome but he’s getting neglected in the words to. The planet of the apes movies were massive hits, got great reviews and I scored high in our system. Stay healthy and safe and keep them grandbabies happy. Thanks for stopping by.
