Cop films often end up falling into one of two distinct categories. On one hand, you have the action comedy genre that tends to forgo realism for gunfights and laughs. These tended to give praise to the police officers, even if they were flawed. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Mel Gibson and Danny […]

Movie Review: ‘Tower Heist’ Starring Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick

Posted: November 4, 2011 at 8:04 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews
