After The Hangover became the comedy of the year in 2009 it didn’t take long before Hollywood was already green lighting the sequel for it.  This was much the same after the success of Old School, although that sequel never made the day of light.  Despite issues in the past between Old School and Hangover [...]

A lot of people hated it when Steve Carell went on the insanely funny “Between Two Ferns with Zack Galifianakis” to promote this year’s Date Night, but I thought it was brilliant. There are always commercials, trailers, and billboards everywhere; that’s pretty much a given for anything starring Carell. Actually, that’s the case for anyone [...]

In 2008, this small Swedish vampire horror movie Let the Right One In came out of nowhere to break out and become an instant cult classic.  This movie got rave reviews and was known as the anti-Twilight, one of the reasons I loved it.  Of course as its popularity grew, Hollywood decided it wanted to [...]
