Cop Out movie
Cop Out is a movie which falls flat and a passable fare which trenches into deep falls scene by scene. When Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan share the screen for a police comedy, the expectations were to see a rollicking comedy and gags of laugh. But unfortunately Cop Out …
Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys
I don’t normally watch movies by Tyler Perry. I find the subject matter to be kind of trite. Additionally, it often seems like the sets are too artificial looking. The best of the best are always the stars of these films in terms of …

Suspiria (movie)

Arachnophobia movie
I was trying to find something to watch last night while sitting up with our youngest daughter and ended up putting on the movie Arachnophobia.

Bachelor Party (1984)
