Film Reviews »

'Zonad' a daft delight
Oirish stereotypes abound gloriously in the Carney brothers’ wonderful comedy, and you couldn’t possibly be offended.
Great performances in 'I Love You, Phillip Morris'
A sad, funny rom-com touching on the still difficult subject of gay love, and it’s based on real-life events.
'Old Dogs' sets a new low
With two such sterling stars as Williams and Travolta, even though their recent track record has been dismal, you’d think this looking-after-the-kiddies comedy would be at least watchable.
