Sucker Punch

Wow! Most anytime you get punched it hurts. I just found out that it hurts even more when you are “sucker punched”. Sucker Punch in a most apt description of this movie and it can be most painful at times – about half of the time. Whats is wrong with the movie you may ponder [...]

Hall Pass

Two middle age married men are granted their dream of receiving a “hall pass” from their wives. It seems that this pass gives them a week free from the responsibilities of marriage (and I mean all responsibilities). In their juvenile minds they picture their macho past through much rosier glasses then what actually occurred. So [...]
