Holy Hot Damn… those are the first three words that came to mind after seeing this film this evening. As I mentioned prior, I minored in History and have researched Hoover in many instances and I must say, Clint Eastwood did a magnificent job with this film.

I got to see the Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis Romantic Comedy Friends With Benefits a couple weeks ago, and I’m just getting to this quick review now. OVERALL: It’s a plot that’s been done before, and it’s a plot that’s been done very recently with even a “That 70′s Show” star. Yet, this was still an enjoyable romantic comedy. My [...]

Y’know… …this never happened to the other fellow! Having a film as GOOD as ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ that is. With that line spoken, we immediately know that we, the audience, are in for something completely unique in this picture. In a series riddled with cliche`s-a-plenty even into the third film, ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ (referred to as [...]

Attack the Block just got released in the UK on May 11th, and the decision is still up in the air when to release it in the States. As part of the process to “feel out” US audiences, they screened the film for 25 cities on May 25. I was part of one of those audiences. Or at least that’s the story [...]
