Knocked Up (UnRated, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …

88 Minutes movie 2007
There’s nothing like a good Al Pacino movie but this wasn’t one of them. 88 minutes is a thriller that will confuse you until the very end. Mostly because the things that happen in it are so unrealistic and unbelievable that you think “there must be something more,” yet at …

Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …
