December 2, 2014 by
Sequels to comedies are possibly some of the most predictable movies ever made. The stories begin showing the audience where our beloved characters are now; next, some of kind conflict brings the gang back together again, and then they embark on a journey full of mishaps and one-liners that seems remarkably similar to the first movie.

Movie Review: The World's End
September 5, 2013 by
When lead actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost team up with director Edgar Wright, you know you’re in for something special.
