2 Broke Girls was originally panned by critics in season one, the show has managed to survive, won two People’s Choice Awards, and garnered a following that has warranted a fifth season starting this Fall on CBS.
The two hour and thirty minute running time is long and there were definitely scenes that could have been made shorter or cut out all together. However, Straight Outta Compton definitely is worth seeing, even if you can’t relate to rap music.
While the story itself isn’t all that exciting, this version is well acted and directed and overall has an excellent quality that makes it worth seeing.
Sadly, Hot Pursuit completely missed the mark by not utilizing these two talented ladies. I‘m not sure what they saw in this film when they read the script, but, it isn’t funny, interesting or original.
I give DreamWorks’s “Home” 3 Slushy flavors out of 5. …of course Busta Lime is my fav! It’s fun, entertaining, has a great soundtrack, and is quite informative on the dangers of unique passwords!
Simply stated, Fantastic Four is the best comic book movie of 2015. In a year that brought us very dull offerings from the Marvel/Disney cinematic universe, this little movie puts energy back into the over saturated superhero genre.
The four hours worth of extras are the real addition that makes owning this movie even slightly worthwhile. If you are a fan who wants to have the complete set...go out and buy it, but otherwise, it is one that doesn’t really need to.
Never judge a book by its cover. That is one of the lessons of The Casual Vacancy, the J.K Rowling book adaptation that was a three hour miniseries on BBC and HBO.
