  See How They Run 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Nov 2022

  This is one of those random films I’ve been following since it was only a title, a screenshot, and a premise. And for what it’s worth, I liked it. I actually liked it quite a bit. My only real issue, and the reason it’s taken me exactly a week to start this review is that I don’t have much to say about it

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Jan 2019 2

  I was lucky enough to see this early because of a promotion at my local theater, so I won't spoil anything outright

  But I'm very happy to say the team over at Lord Miller have done it AGAIN. No, scratch that, AGAIN AGAIN

  They gave us the first Lego Movie, then last year's absolutely incredible Into the Spider-Verse, and now the long-awaited sequel to the Lego Movie

  Instead of just giving us more of the same, they give us an…
