80 for Brady Arrives on Blu-ray, DVD

While fans recover from this past weekend’s NFL draft, they can bring home the hysterical 80 for Brady on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. What follows is my original review: 80 for Brady might have some moments that feel too unrealistic to believe but the film is very hysterical with laugh-out-loud moments. It’s no surprise that this film is so hysterical because it’s written by both Sarah Haskins and Emily Halpern. The duo created Trophy Wife…

80 for Brady is Hysterical

80 for Brady might have some moments that feel too unrealistic to believe but the film is very hysterical with laugh-out-loud moments.

The Opening Act: Stand-Up Comedy Isn’t Easy

The Opening Act is a fictional account depicting the harsh realties that come with trying to make it in the business as a stand-up comedian. Writer-director Steve Byrne injects some of his own real-life experiences into the script.  Byrne has been in the industry for two decades so basically, he’s calling friends and casting them in the film.  This aspect certainly shows through in the production.  It honestly feels like one agrees to this kind…

Holidate: A Rom-Com With A Side Of Holidays

Holidate, starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey, is a new Netflix romantic comedy that comes with a side of holiday offerings. This is an R-rated film.  Please consider this before adding it to your rotation of holiday films to watch over the next two months.  Holidate might not be on the same level of Home Alone, Elf, or National Lampoon’s Xmas Vacation but there’s enough here worthy of repeat viewings. And with the way it’s…
