I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.

“Hot Tub Time Machine” (2010) Film

Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
Waitress - (starring Keri Russell)
This movie that I have watched before, Waitress, starring Keri Russell, is a very powerful and sweeping story. Do not underestimate the contents of it because it has lots of morale values that we can at one point or another learn.
Keri acted as Jenna and she is …

Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)

Vacancy

Prime movie
The recent romantic comedy staring Uma Thurman entilted Prime didn’t seem to fit the usual mold. It was always my opinion that romantic comidies should make you feel good and escape from reality. Prime was a closer fit to the roller coaster that is love.
