(Mostly) Untimely Movie Review: The Matrix Series
Continuing my strong stretch run through the Warner Bros. 50 Film Collection, I now get to tackle The Matrix. However, with a fourth Matrix film recently in theaters, and, strangely enough, not having seen any of them, I decided to watch all … Continue reading
