Weekly Recap: Angel Has Fallen, Ready Or Not & More!


Another sleepy week for August, but there are still some worthwhile films out there. Not among them is Angel Has Fallen, which simply exists to do nothing impressive except pass time.

At home, the superhero horror flick Brightburn is now available. And lastly, be sure to enjoy a couple of new podcasts we put together for all to hear and have fun with. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

This extended edition of "Brief Thoughts" features feelings on Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
