Shelve this film in with the many, many other “Pretty Hollywood Actors Downgrade to Play Junkies” movies. Yeah, you’ve seen it all before… but that doesn’t mean this film doesn’t do it well. And it does it with the lurvely … Continue reading
The Perfect Addiction is another one of THOSE hated modern romance flicks. It’s about an MMA trainer (of course) who is dating her current client when she catches him cheating on her. So she finds another fighter to train to … Continue reading
