Snatched (2022) [Hulu’s Bite-Size Halloween Review]

The Tender Trap (1955) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
The Tender Trap is better known for providing Sinatra with a new hit song rather than being a quality movie. What I find more ridiculous is that MGM released The Tender Trap and Guys and Dolls on the ...
Bachelor in Paradise (1961) [Warner Archive Blu-ray review]
Bachelor in Paradise is a comedy about sex in the way that only the early 60s could create. They were bold enough to suggest that people have sex, but this was still very much a film made by adult chi...
