Wedding Crashers dir. by David Dobkin
I was expected some mindless entertainment, with a few laughs. Instead I got mindless entertainment, plenty of insanity and loads of laughs. The basic plot is fairly simple: two guys use...

The Descent dir. by Neil Marshall

Lost 1.04 – Walkabout dir. by Jack Bender
Okay, so far we know that there are around 48 survivors of the plane crash, that there is some huge weird beast living on the island, that there are polar bears in the jungle, and that people aren’t straightforward (although I guess we should know that from real life right?).
