I like to laugh. A lot. And this summer gave me some good times in the dark. 3 weeks ago it was Pineapple Express and that was a great chuckle. Then 2 weeks ago Tropic Thunder made me shake my head in disbelief at what I was seeing, smiling Continue reading: Hamlet 2

I only got around to seeing the new Judd Apatow produced flick a few days ago, days after Steve had seen it and posted about it. Continue reading: Pineapple Express: Brian’s Take
Guilty Pleasures: Under SiegeAs a former Film Studies student, I have had the good fortune to have been exposed to some of the greatest films the world has had to offer.
