Read more: What should the player do if the croupier makes a mistake?Many guests of gambling establishments, meeting with the croupier’s mistakes, refuse to believe that this is the same person as they are. Therefore, they can make a mistake by accident, without malicious intent. We are all human, and the dealer can also get tired on a long shift; they may have a lack of knowledge…

There’s one British military gentleman who’s always happy to sit by my side and share the silvery wonders of the big screen. His name is the Colonel and we love to delve…

Read more: Plane (2023)“Plane” – A better movie than January deserves. After the disappointing but perfect-for-January M3GAN, I fully expected Plane to be perfectly January as well. Plane stars Gerard Butler. We don’t need any other information than that to set our expectations. Butler’s filmography contains thirty-eight films (not including Plane or animated films) and just eight of…

Exorcist III is not a reboot (like the deliriously kooky Halloween III) but…

Top of his game in his 1984 debut, but already wearing out his welcome in the hastily assembled, lazily named Freddy’s Revenge. Some people get a kick out of this odd, gay-themed sequel, but I don’t see it as anything other than a…

And when it comes to its sequels, I’ve never had a problem. They aren’t simple repetition in that we’re following Satan’s son from birth to adulthood. That’s gotta mean…
