Review: “Hot Fuzz” Run time: 2:01 A “parody” or “satire” usually skewers the material on which it is based. The “Naked Gun” movies were extremely slapsticky and could be best described as “loose send ups” of police movies, where the … Continue reading →

Review: “Reno 911!: Miami” Run time: 1:24 Dammit. I really wanted to like this movie. I really did. I’m a big fan of the show and I had high hopes for this, and that may have set the bar too … Continue reading →

“Casino Royale” Run time: 2:24 When Daniel Craig was named the new James Bond, everyone lined up to pee on his parade. I wasn’t as skeptical after seeing him in “Layer Cake”, but I was eager to see what he … Continue reading →
