One Mann's Movies Film Review: Don't Breathe (2016)
Here comes Little Kevin, all grown up and blinded. “Don’t Breathe” had a concept that appealed to me. Three Detroit teens are systematically robbing houses of goods to pawn with…
One Mann's Movies: Suicide Squad (2016)
The length of time it’s taken me to catch this one at the cinema belies my lukewarm interest in the material: I’m not a ‘fan boy’ for either Marvel or…
One Mann's Movies Film Review: The Shallows (2016)
