GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 REVIEW

I think in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , James Gunn has written a very poignant movie; a tale of fatherhood (and by extension, parenting in general) and what it means to be a family.

The premise for Castle in hindsight, might have seemed like a bad idea fit for a 90s comedy movie, but we gobbled it up based off the performance of its cast, even when it began to run into very familiar territory. Here’s hoping ABC’s Deception can go beyond just been another yo
