OH NO YOU DIDN’T #4:  McConaughey + Gary Oldman playing his dwarf twin brother!  TIPTOES review by COOP

This movie came out in 2003. I think we all missed it because it went direct to DVD with zero publicity and as you can guess, there’s a good reason why.

NICK AND NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST (2008) ***** movie review by COOP

Teen romances usually bore me with their tired clichés and lack of ingenuity. They have angsty teens who fall in love, go through their ups and downs, leading up to a predictable ending.
