There Will Be Blood

Oh my.  My wife and I went to see this movie together.  I’ll give you her review first.  “I hated it.”  That pretty much says it all.
I can sum up the plot-line like this.  The once was an oilman who was a bastard.  Seriously, that seems to be the whole plot of the movie.  Daniel [...]

Miami Vice

I recently watched the movie version of the 80’s hit Miami Vice with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.  As with most remakes, the makers of this film had several choices: 1) Try to redo the series as closely as they could set at the same time, 2) Do a comedy version that pokes fun at [...]
