WATCH NOW It’s my grandmother’s bible. It still exists, although my grandmother left me unambiguous instructions that it should be destroyed by fire upon her death. She died when I was a child so I have only vague memories of her, but I certainly don’t recall anything that would make this odd request logical. My […]
WATCH NOW The pet owners will be interested to learn that Finn Taylor’s romcom revolves around a female character having a male cat and dog transforming into some very hunky humans. Unleashed, while never quite reaching the satirical boundaries of its exceptional premise, does manage to provide some moderate chuckles because of its engaging female

WATCH NOW G.B.F stands for ‘gay best friend,’ and this premise isn’t quite anything amazing. A competitive triad of clique queens treat a teen’s companionship the way vultures treat a rare Birkin clutch. \n\nDirector Darren Stein and George Northy are completely unaware of this situation because one plot twist includes a character exclaiming “What is
WATCH NOW The movie “The DUFF” has the decency of acknowledging John Hughes’s 1980 teen movies are its roots, even referencing the five high school stereotypes forced to attend detention together in ‘The Breakfast Club’ that just celebrated its 30th anniversary.

WATCH NOW Nick Hornby deeply understands the nature of men, their perception of women and, most importantly, how women see them. His books inspired three delightful movies on the battle of the sexes: “High Fidelity” (2000), “About a Boy” (2002), and now, “Fever Pitch.” Their humor stems from a certain reality, and comes from deep

WATCH NOW When Rush Hour 2 was released to lucrative box office results, I thought they were ready to high-kick their way to a trilogy. However, neither Carter nor Lee made an appearance until 2007.
