Old (15): Dafter than the Dharma initiative.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Old” (2021). One Mann’s Movies Rating: “Old” is the latest from the gloriously inconsistent writer/director M. Night Shyamalan.

One Mann’s Movies Rating: A long time in the waiting (again) but “Black Widow” is an excellent addition to the Marvel canon: almost a “Rogue One” in the series, taking us back to fill in some gaps after “Captain America: Civil War”.
