Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
In Bruges
I became interested seeing In Bruges after I found out about the cast and the great script. But nothing would have foretold me how amazing this movie will turn out. First of all, it stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes and it is about two hitmen (Farrell …

Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …

Little Miss Sunshine movie

The Hottie & The Nottie
Considering it had Paris Hilton in the starring role and the fact it came straight to DVD, I had a lot of doubts about the film The Hottie & The Nottie.
