Heist films can be hit or miss from time to time. In 2001, when Ocean’s Eleven was released, it was something of a new renaissance for that particular genre. The con was on, and what a fantastic one it was. Followed by two solid sequels, The Oceans Trilogy has also had a long legacy on […]

When I saw the trailer for Drop Dead Gorgeous and then once the film released in 1999, later on home video, I just poked my nose up and said “nah!” and carried on. Young, adolescent, ignorant and stupid as I was in my youth as a “film lover” and one studying the art. I had […]

These movies were either panned by critics, bombed when they were released theatrically, or both! But we still champion them as our favorite Guilty Pleasures. Greg gets all hairy over TEEN WOLF; Teresa has a blond moment with WHITE CHICKS and David goes ‘Lizardo’ on everyone THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION.
