We have no limit on college party-fest films, like Animal House, Super… Continue reading Review: 21 AND OVER
Review: 21 & OVER
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) From Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writers of The Change-Up and The Hangover movies, comes their directorial debut, which actually feels like a college age version of The Hangover, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, and a lot of other intoxicated, debauchery tales that… Continue reading Review: 21 & OVER
Review: JACK THE GIANT SLAYER
By Laurie Coker Rating: B- When I can take my grandson to a film, I am one happy gal and when I can include my now two-year-old granddaughter too, I’m thrilled.

News: Oscars Recap
By Mark Saldana This year’s Academy Award Broadcast went well without too many hitches. Host Seth MacFarlane served up his brand of irreverence with his charming and disarming personality, along with a few expected and hilarious cutaway gags ala Family Guy.

Yes, seriously, the massive former wrestler-turned actor here plays John Matthews, a businessman… Continue reading Review: SNITCH
