The second installment, like its predecessor, was done in the style of a whodunit mystery. Unlike the first one, where I felt this was done as a sense of stand alone, in case the movie flopped, this movie was done in that style because, more and more, the Harry …

The Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1989 DVD set is a three DVD set that includes just five Columbo episodes. It’s not much, but that’s all of the movies that aired in 1989.
I don’t like how the DVDs are set up, however. Universal isn’t known for providing quality …

I was watching some movies on TV last night and came across Superman. I hadn’t seen it in a while so I figured I would give the movie (which is almost as old as I am) another chance.
