A funny and wacky Billy Wilder sex comedy, Kiss Me, Stupid was a surprisingly filthy choice for me to watch on my last sick (hangover) day.
Dean Martin throws himself into his drunk and shockingly horny persona as lounge singer Dino who ends up stranded in Climax, Nevada on his way home from Vegas. But [...]

Sliding Doors is a movie for girls. I am a girl. I love this movie.
It’s one of those WHAT IF movies that starts with WHAT IF Gwyneth Paltrow does a British accent?
WHAT IF she is adorable and misses her train so she doesn’t find out that her boyfriend with the bad haircut is cheating on [...]

Ah, subtitles. When you’re willing to read while you’re watching a movie, it must be great. Or else you were duped.
The trailer for The Band’s Visit is charming and funny. An Egyptian police band wandering a deserted street in Israel, trying to get to their gig but ending up in the wrong [...]

So fool’s gold the thing is like a glittery rock that tricks idiots into thinking it’s actual gold. Fool’s Gold the movie has sexy fun posters, the presence of two hot and OK actors (Kate Hudson and Matthew McCona…MacConna…Mc…who gives a shit, just take off your shirt) who were pretty cute together in How to [...]

Atonement
Yes, we get it, your movie, your score, James McAvoy in a a suit and Keira Knightley in green satin are all very pretty. Everyone is in love and/or dead and/or wracked with guilt and it’s all very tragic.
There Will Be Blood
Yes, we get it, Daniel Day-Lewis has three names and is a great actor [...]

Love Story
What can you say about a movie that totally sucks? Where the characters are in love, but you kind of hate both of them?
Love means never having to say you’re sorry? That doesn’t even make sense!
P.S., I Love You
Pass the Kleenex. Yes, I cried because Hilary Swank’s husband is dead and she has to [...]

Wondering how to leave your lover?
Make them watch How to Leave Your Lover, then they’ll leave you!
Get it? Cause this movie sucks.
Owen (Paul Schneider) is a single writer in Los Angeles (omg, I’m sure the writer/director wasn’t drawing from his own experiences) who finally decides to “break up with his life” and leave L.A. But in line [...]

I really miss the days when it was totally acceptable for someone who looked like Dexter Fletcher (nice name!) to be the romantic lead opposite Ione Skye at the peak of her hotness. Actually, no, I don’t. But such was the world in 1989 and it was this world that brought us The Rachel Papers [...]

I watched (re-watched for about the umpteenth [who says UMPTEENTH?] time) Forget Paris on the same day I watched Miami Rhapsody. There is something about both of them that is distinctly Woody Allen-esque. This one specifically reminds me of Melinda & Melinda, mostly because there is this frame story of friends sitting around drinking and [...]

While all of our friends in the WGA are on strike, why not watch Best Friends, a heartwarming romantic comedy about two screenwriters and their tumultuous romance?
I’ll tell you why not: because it sucks.
