When you pour millions into a movie and expect to make a buck, two out of three times you're going to lose your shirt. The movie has a "rushed into production" feel. I felt the same way after watching Scary Movie 2. The director was given what he had to work with. I can't ...
There are a few good laughs (all at least halfway through the film) and even a couple of sweet, tender moments. But they're not worth hunting for amid the wreckage.To use a euphemism from the film, this is a steaming piece of "Belgian chocolate"... probably even for fans of broad...
It wouldn’t budge, so I gathered my things, climbed up to the road, and walked…slowly, gingerly on the slippery surface…up to the King’s Highway. From there, I was able to telephone the Community Center, to tell them why I was late. I hadn’t walked much farther before Bud st...
