Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

Posted on November 24, 2010 by | Comments Off on Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

We revived Bad Movies We Love last week with Cher’s Chastity , a quaint ’60s jam full of boring monologues and menacing lesbianism.

Posted on November 17, 2010 by | Comments Off on REVIEW: Russell Crowe Tries to Roughen the Edges of The Next Three Days

Blood on a trench coat, a wholesome-seeming wife and mom behind bars, a spouse who’s devoted almost to the point of obsession: Paul Haggis’ marital thriller The Next Three Days has a lot going for it, including two appealing and extremely capable actors, Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. The plot is worked out with care, and it takes its time, unapologetically, in a manner that’s perfectly suited to thinking adults. The whole enterprise reeks of class.
