Movie Review: ‘Grudge Match’ Starring Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Kim Basinger, Alan Arkin
Going into the film Grudge Match, my expectations weren’t very high. The latest offering from director Peter Segal not only exceeded my expectations, it knocked them out of the ring.

Ben Affleck Will Star In His Third Directorial Effort: ‘Argo’
As we all know, Ben Affleck has turned his career around. He went from sliding down a slippery slope of horrible movies including DAREDEVIL, GIGLI, PAYCHECK, and SURVIVING CHRISTMAS to co-starring in some films that I really loved like STATE OF PLAY, HOLLYWOODLAND, and THE COMPANY MEN. In the midst of that he directed two outstanding […]
