Z3: Zenon
Cetus-Lupeedus? More like Vega-Omega! Zenon is back in this trilogy-capping bit of completely incomprehensible nonsense. Count the Zs in the background, wonder why everybody hates Cassie, and mourn the loss of bully-Margie in this film that posits the ultimate question--is Zenon the most…
more -
