Movie Review: The Ladykillers (2004)
I have just rented “The Ladykillers” 2004, starring Tom Hanks, from our local library and we’ve had a fun evening watching this hilarious comedy. However, I could do with less profanity; hearing the f-word all throughout the movie was rather annoying.

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …

Let’s Talk About Sex DVD Movie
The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …
