The Americans Season 5 Episode 12 Review: The World Council of Churches

12A: the problem that nobody wants to fix

The 12A rating is a growing problem in UK cinemas. And it’s one that seems impossible to fix now… Popcorn is duly being sold, although not quite as much as last year.

Injustice 2 Review

Here’s our review. If anything, they at least came up with a fantastic story mode. Then they bounced back toMortal Kombat X, where their ideas continued to progress. NetherRealms even brought in the match-specific pre-fight dialogue where every pairing has several possible three-line intros! I love that stuff! Instead of rounds, its just two health bars. So yeah, same engine as last time. What is new and exciting is the Gear System....
