Here's another long-lost relic of the early 90's that I hope stays dead. This movie exists only for Vanilla Ice to flaunt his ego and torment the audience with his "rapping … more

It was on TV yesterday. Not bad for a boring Sunday afternoon! Too hot outside to go anywhere but staying home for relaxation. Julia Roberts looks pretty here. Boy, it's more than a decade since! As for … more
Inviting expanses of beach stretch seemingly forever. Gentle waves cast foam on the shore in patterns that shift as hypnotically as those in a kaleidoscope. The … more
"Vulnerable" is not a word I would have used to describe Humphrey Bogart's on-screen persona. At least not before I saw In a Lonely Place (1950). Bogart … more

January 04, 2012
I needed medication for OCD after the movie was over. As good as it gets gets better when SSRIs kick in and the credits roll. Honestly its one of the most overrated movies i know of.
I was pleasantly surprised. I generally like Matt Damon and he was solid but Emily Blunt ensured that it was more romantic than the usual Philip Dick story but not also ensures its not just a chick flick … more
