Get Him to the Greek
If you’re in need of a laugh, get yourself to a theater to see Get Him to the Greek. I went in not expecting too much – perhaps to be…
The A-Team
I don't remember much about The A-Team television show from the 1980s. I do remember my little brother was a big fan of the crew of misfits who traveled around…
Knight and Day
With star power like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz you expect more than you get with Knight and Day. Not that it is a bad movie; it just doesn’t really…
El Secreto de Sus Ojos (The Secret in their Eyes)
El Secreto de Sus Ojos was the very deserving winner of the 2010 Academy Award for best Foreign Film. (I have to admit it is the only one of those…

Babies
“Oh how cute!” That’s what I found myself saying out loud in the theater throughout the documentary Babies. (I’d apologize to those sitting around me if they weren’t all doing…
Letters To Juliet
