This romcom can’t arrange any freshness. While India and Pakistan still have their ongoing conflicts, Working Title has released two English films with their respective themes. There was “Polite Society,” which loves Indian culture and strong women, and now, there… Read More ›
Romance
Space Oddity
A solid romcom that has plenty of oxygen. Kyra Sedgwick’s movie directorial debut of “Space Oddity” is no biopic or doc about the classic David Bowie song (although Brandi Carlile sings a cover version of it), but it is a… Read More ›
Murder Mystery 2
Not a total piece of deux deux, but still not funny. The best thing I could say about the new Adam Sandler sequel “Murder Mystery 2” is that it’s not as offensively awful as “Jack & Jill” or “Grown Ups… Read More ›
Emily
Whatever their souls are made from, Emma and Emily are the same here. Emily Brontë died too young at the age of 30, but was best known for her only novel “Wuthering Lights.” I’ve never heard of this young writer,… Read More ›

How this 1993 comedy classic meets well with age over and over again. Harold Ramis’ 1993 comedy “Groundhog Day” is a hilarious one. A sweet and lovable hit that repeats itself with the right intentions. It’s the comedy that inspired… Read More ›
Shotgun Wedding

You People
Guess Who’s NOT Coming to Dinner Less than 20 years after reprising his voice role as Donkey in “Shrek 2,” Eddie Murphy is back in another comedy to mimic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” called “You People.” What do you… Read More ›
Empire of Light
A missed opportunity even from the great Sam Mendes. The life of a movie theater employee has its ups and downs. You get to watch movies for free, make some new friends, and learn new things about yourself. Those are… Read More ›
