Wicked Little Letters Movie Review
Every woman should watch this, just to see if they recognize anything from their own life. This is hysterical, so if you do, know it’s all in fun… or is it? Don’t worry, guys! You’ll love this, too. Perhaps you’ll get a glimpse of your friends, too. Sorry if you do.

No. But is it worth watching? Without a doubt.

The Oath Movie Review
“The Oath” will bring back memories of “Gladiator,” which isn’t a bad thing since the second Gladiator is on its way. It’s just not as well produced as a Ridley Scott film.
