The story centers around Drew, who had …

What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …

First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …

From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …
