"Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not the end."

It's one for the mature crowd, as it earns lots of belly-laughs through genuine wit and doesn't shy away from the inherent... read more

"If I can't pronounce it, I don't want to eat it."

I'm infamous for enjoying the most barbaric kinds of humour. I like gross out comedy, sex comedy, and even racial comedy. Thus, when a 'smart' comedy comes out, I usually never have any interest in seeing them. There are times when I do actually enjoy a comedy with a witty and subtle script - Up in the Air is an excellent example. T... read more

Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, I wasn’t disappointed and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not long ago, I actually watched ‘Amo... read more

"First viewing - Feb. 27th I wanted to catch this in theatres but it never worked out, so I was glad to finally be able to watch it. The cast is outstanding, and the script does a good job for the most part of balancing the ensemble and giving each character an arc that works well. I really appreciated the story overall, and while I don't know that I'll bother with its sequel I'd sit through it again."
