The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …

10 Things i Hate About You

Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …
