Home Again review
Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back.

Age of Apocalypse was a great time series. I remember the time well, when Joe Mad adorned the cover of every second book and we as collectors finally turned our backs on foil covers and wrestling comics (thank god!).
ReplyDeleteThere does seem to be an element of AoA to this and with the return of Apocalypse to shelves early next year we'll have to see if your prediction is on the money!
