Clueless Movie Reviews: “Gangster Squad”
“Gangster Squad” has lots to offer in terms of eye candy, and that’s about it, so if you like your gangster films high on style and short on substance or character depth, you’re in for a treat.
Clueless Movie Reviews: “This Is 40”
There’s lots to like in Judd Apatow’s latest directorial outing, “This is 40”, which manages to always feel very personal to Apatow himself while for the most part being accessible and enjoyable to anyone even close to 40 years old.
