The Nannies Diary
The actress, Scarlett Johansson is simply great in the role of the nanny Annie Braddock. I would have no problems leaving my two year old daughter with her, if she is in search for a full time nanny job which I doubt it!
“The Nannies Diary” is the story of …
The 2008 Comedy/Horror Teeth

Haunter (horror movie)

88 Minutes movie 2007
There’s nothing like a good Al Pacino movie but this wasn’t one of them. 88 minutes is a thriller that will confuse you until the very end. Mostly because the things that happen in it are so unrealistic and unbelievable that you think “there must be something more,” yet at …

Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.

Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Tangerine (2015 Film)
