Letter To The Editor: A Positive Experience

Cinema Cindy Reviews Suicide Squad
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“Suicide Squad” is this late summer’s hit action flick, despite its poor reviews. It’s packed with super bad guys (coerced into helping the good guys), mostly derivative special effects, and enough character development to not be a total waste of your time.

The bad guy criminals are, themselves, weapons, tools at the disposal of the U. S. military. Each has his or her Read More
