Went to see Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again… and the way you say that subtitle will probably define what you think of this sequel. Yes… a sequel… a sequel to the previous movie that has the audacity to be … Continue reading
Checked out Book Club, the four-in-one romantic comedy for people without time for those lazy single-romance romantic comedies. In this one, we get four generic-but-sometimes-funny stories starring elder stateswomen of Hollywood in a film and it’s either really cool for … Continue reading
Checked out the remake of the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russel romantic comedy from the 80s Overboard. That was the one where Hawn, a rich spoiled heiress, falls off her yacht and gets amnesia. Poor working man Russel convinces her that she’s … Continue reading
