Trailer for HBO’s “The Pacific”

Posted: June 24, 2009 at 11:56 am   /   Local, Movie News, Television

I am of the opinion that ‘Band of Brothers’ is one of the best things ever produced for television. I was happy to hear that Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were creating a new miniseries for HBO once again set in WWII this time chronicling the war in the Pacific. I think I might have […]

The romantic comedy genre is so overloaded with formulaic renditions of the same film that came out the year before, with actors in it for such an obvious paycheck. ‘The Proposal’ is another formulaic entry to the romantic comedy genre.  However, it suceeds by having very likable leads.

Nia Vardalos hit indie gold with her 2002 hit My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  Besides a little pit stop with 2004’s Connie and Carla she has been pretty absent from the world of film. Is her latest film a grand return to the screen after years of absence? Sadly, no. Getting your kefi back or […]
