Jackass Number Two (2006)

Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

The Shepard Border Patrol

The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …

The Theory of Everything, Movie

Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
