WATCH NOW “The Keeper” is an applicant, if a rather plodding, lumbering film biography of the edge of stolid Manchester City soccer’s goalie, Bert Trautmann, a hugely popular man from the late 40s to the 1960s. He was previously a German paratrooper POW in Britain, recruited to play for a local club before the war’s […]
WATCH NOW My dearest puppies, shimmering seashell wind chimes, deep meaning gazebos, not to mention an unrelenting rainstorm that guarantees the revealing top worn by the starring female is completely drenched and transparent. One more year prompts yet another journey back to the goofy romantic outpost known as Sparks-landia, a location which purports to sit
WATCH NOW Yes, a Benjamin Mee does exist, and indeed, he and his family purchased a zoo. The Dartmoor Zoological Park in Devon, England was established in 1968, and closed its doors in 2006. It was then bought by Mee family. In the process of making the film “We Bought a Zoo” Cameron Crowe moves

Precious puppies, seashell wind chimes jingling, meaningful gazebos and, of course, a heavy downpour to ensure the lead actress’ sheer cover up is completely drenched and transparent. Once again, a trip to the loony lovebird destination of Sparks landau, a self claimed romantic outpost that does not make sense, is supposedly next to North Carolina’s
Here is the cast: Tom Selleck portrays a bold, and confident character. Sam Elliott, Katharine Ross, Jeff Osterhage, Ben Johnson, and Geoffrey Lewis perfectly filled out the supporting roles in the film. Director Andrew V McLaglen has made his mark in the industry through his great work, and his name will always stand alongside the

WATCH NOW So I decided to rent ‘NAKED WEAPON’ (2002) from ‘Tony’ Ching Siu-Tung, the magnificent director of A CHINESE GHOST STORY trilogy, THE SWORDSMAN trilogy, THE SORCERER AND THE WHITE SNAKE, and choreographer for A BETTER TOMORROW II, SHAOLIN SOCCER, and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS.
