Movie Review: Bad Moms

Yes, this movie for moms was directed by these same two dudes, known for depicting the dudiest of all dudes on the big screen.

Bad Moms comprises an all-star cast of females highly capable of...[Read More]
Movie Review: Oz the Great and Powerful
MGM’s 1939 movie musical The Wizard of Oz is beloved by generations of people and still regarded as a cinematic classic more than seventy years after its original release.

Movie Review: Ted
Aside from over-familiarity and increasingly indulgent premises, Fox’s Family Guy has been criticized lately for attempting to cram in awkward dramatic conflict and existential crises (even the dog Brian has contemplated suicide) alongside the show’s torrents of scatterbrained, scatological anti-humor and 1980s pop culture references.
