‘A comedian died tonight in New York City’

This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …

About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …

I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.

It’s true that lately I have not seen any comedy or animated films, at least not as I would have liked.

For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
