Review: ENOUGH SAID

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) My biggest complaint about romantic comedies remains that the plots are all so cookie-cutter similar.

Writer/director Nicole Holofcener… Continue reading Review: ENOUGH SAID

This second installment takes audiences back to the town of Swallow… Continue reading Review: CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2

Two-time Academy Award winning director Ron Howard follows up on trailer promises with an… Continue reading Review: RUSH
