SuppliedFor 50 episodes and 50 weeks, the Watch-men have loyally guided you through the good, the bad, and the ugly of film, TV, and Netflix. This week is no exception.
The Hollywood remake monster has reared its head once again, in the form of a film so rebooted it would make Xzibit blush — “I hear you like reboots, so here’s a reboot of a reboot of a reboot” — it’s 2016’s The Magnificent Seven.
