When I saw Clue in theaters way back in the Jurassic, it was fine. The critical reviews were mixed and I thought it was maybe a little bit better than the consensus. And that was it… a board game movie … Continue reading
Have been racking my brain and I just don’t have a lot to say about this movie. It’s kind of drab, kind of dull… and that’s largely it. Set during the Depression, it’s about a poor family whose son encounters … Continue reading

Finding You is such a generic movie title, I had forgotten it a half-dozen times before I reached my desk to write this down. The movie itself is largely forgettable as well… and, in my book, overly long and excessively … Continue reading
