The Night Flier, 1997 movie

Miracle on Ice

Bloodrayne

The problem with movies based on video games is they tend to assume you actually …
I Love You, Man movie
I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. It looked cheesy, stooping for cheap laughs with fart and masturbation jokes. However, I was surprised to find it rather amusing; definitely not in my top fifty, but certainly decent and watchable.

“In the Loop” movie 2009
In the loop is a political satire that is at times somewhat funny, but other times grossly overdone. The profanity is so extreme that it makes the film seem too unrealistic even for a satire. This film gives character to a hypothetical U S Government, and a hypothetical U K …
