Wedding Crashers – Quickie Review

This is Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn at the top of their comedic game. This is a very funny movie: funny lines and funny situations. The supporting is just as strong as the leads including a great cameo from Will Ferrell. It’s probably about 20 minutes too long, but it’s a whole lotta fun. Raunchy …

Devil’s Rejects, The – Quickie Review

Rob Zombie’s follow-up to House of 1000 Corpses is a hyper-violent crime romp with exceptional dark humour and very well written dialogue, almost lyrical in parts. Not for everyone, I remember seeing a few people walk out of the theatre when I saw it. Bill Moseley is terrific.
