Then I heard Gwyneth Paltrow was in it.
I still had hope.
Then I heard that it was about a disgraced country music star, attempting to revamp her career, perhaps bringing some up-and-comers along for the [...]

When I walked out of the theater after seeing Black Swan for the first time, I thought to myself, “Hey, this cinema thing might still have some fresh juice in it after all.” Love it or hate it, I don’t see many people accusing this film of being stale or unoriginal. That [...]

Man, did I not want to watch Fair Game. I remember the actual events, and I just wasn’t in the mood to relive the mistakes of the Younger Bush administration. Also, I’m not a big Sean Penn fan. He strikes me as kind of a jerk most times. I’m sure he’s [...]

How Do You Know was a real disappointment.
