The 70s. The phones have …

I went to see this film opening night, and of course, the theater was packed with people dressed in wizard costumes with scars on their foreheads. Just like other avid readers of the Harry Potter books, I had been very critical of the previous films and came in with …

Note: This review contains spoilers!

My wife and I had a bit of free time yesterday afternoon and went through some of the movies we had recorded on our DVR.
One of these movies was one from the SyFy Channel called Goblin. It sounded somewhat interesting so we decided to watch it.

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 …
