Follow @WWTTPodcast Ah yes, another videogame movie. When will Hollywood ever learn, right? Why is the adaptation of console-to-screen such a difficult one that yields unpleasant results nearly every...
Follow @WWTTPodcast Just a little pre-amble: I will have to reveal certain plot details in order to properly review the film. I’ll try not to spoil too much but...
