That synopsis for "She's The One" makes it sound like a bit of a screwball comedy with all the interlinking relationships within the Fitzpatrick family causing issues. And it probably could have been a really enjoyable screwb...

Life or Something Like It (2002)

103 mins     Comedy, Romance

I think that is enough plot for now although I will say now that I will have to reveal more of the plot to review "Man on a Ledge". Now it is an interesting opening and during these scenes we have flashbacks from Nick getting...

Alex Cross (2012)

101 mins     Action , Crime, Mystery      

As I sat down to watch "Alex Cross" I had no expectations or preconceived ideas as I had not read a single review, advertising blurb or synopsis. The only thing I knew about "Alex Cross" is that Morgan Freeman had vacated the...
