Beautiful Creatures is out on DVD and Blu Ray in a special features powerpack. Since I am not the films target demographic, I found the film a bit juvenile and superficial. Still, the cast, save one, is strong and the special effects are actually pretty flawless. The combo pack offers some interesting looks at making… Continue reading DVD Release: Beautiful Creatures

Review: HANGOVER PART III
By: Laurie Coker Rating: F Notably, as my male critic friends pointed out at the screening, I am NOT the target demographic for the new Hangover film, starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong, reprising their roles and proving some men never learn. I went in whining from the start, convinced the… Continue reading Review: HANGOVER PART III
Review: THE HANGOVER PART III
By Mark Saldana Rating: 1.5 (Out of 4 Stars) I am one of the very few film critics who actually enjoyed The Hangover Part II.
