The first two acts of No Hard Feelings are so (inappropriately) funny, I thought I was going to give this flick a surprisingly high score. But the third act was such a startling belly flop, it dropped precariously. Still giving … Continue reading
About My Father lives at the intersection of Mafia Mamma and The Machine. Take a massive dollop of Italian stereotypes and give the whole movie over to some guy… and sprinkle in a little Robert De Niro to, I dunno, … Continue reading
After missing the inexplicable and short theatrical release, I’ve been eyeballing this flick for months now as it refused to drop below its overpriced $9.99 rental. It finally did – $4.99 – so I gave it a whirl. The flick … Continue reading
