“Couples Retreat” (2009 movie)
There is nothing left of the romantic comedy genre. It’s been on the decline for at least the past decade, with the odd exception that actually mixes the pathos and exhilaration of love lost and found with comedic coincidence and the kind of zany antics that for the most …
American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …
Airplane 2 movie

The Purge, 2013 Movie
For one night a year, all crime is legal. It’s a very compelling idea for a movie, right? If the film is well executed then yes, but in the case of The Purge, it’s really nothing more than an average movie.
The Purge was one of the first movies in …

Carandiru (R, 2004) movie

Eyes of a Stranger

Movie: Planet 51

Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
