L.A. Story (Review)

Posted on February 14, 2011 by OGR

Steve Martin’s paean to his home city is complicated, bizarre, earnest and ridiculous. It is really a series of skits surrounding a few scenes from a romantic movie. Some of the skits are amusing, some dated and some fall flat, … Continue reading →

Easy A (Review)

Posted on February 11, 2011 by OGR

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Review)

Posted on February 5, 2011 by OGR

Say what you want about Arnold Schwarzenegger – he’s a politician so most people do – but the man practically invented the buff indestructible killing machine with biceps of steel and post death quips of cheese. A genre that has … Continue reading →

Faster (Review)

Posted on February 4, 2011 by OGR

Posted on February 3, 2011 by OGR
