Oddly, Bridesmaids reminded me of Transformers. How? It feels like half the film was written by one of the writers, while the other half was written by the other. And considering the fact that the first hour was filled with overplayed awkward “comedy” that seemed to be nothing but a long-form version of many of [...]

Black Death was very standard for its genre and style.

Also, there was a lot of shaky camera work, which was rather annoying. Still, it wasn’t [...]
