Bundeloafe II: The Return of Jaffar (2013) Review

Anyone who follows my work to any degree will find it no shock that I don’t tend to spend a great deal of time researching any already well-known media.

Even my favourite film of all time, John Carpenter’s ‘ The Thing ’ (1982), is technically a remake. This film is either the fourth, fifth, or sixth screen version of ‘ A Star Is Born ’, depending on if you count the 1932 film ‘ What Price Hollywood? ’ which the 1939 version of ‘ Star ’ supposedly pl
