The Other Woman (2014)

The Other Woman plays like a movie that was made by people that actively hate the script. It is a grotesque, shrill, never-ending effort that always finds a way to sink a little lower just when you’re positive there’s no way it can. Not only is it wholly damaging in its… Continue reading

Bad Teacher (2011)

Shrek 2 continues its original’s wacky take on fairy tales, and I think this one has even one-upped it with the inclusion of Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother, King, Queen, and Puss In Boots. The opportunity for creative laughter is immense here, and Shrek 2 succeeds. The film picks up where… Continue reading
