A “re-imaging” of the classic, and some might say, kitschy 80s TV show that was almost as much about pastel coloured clothes and fast cars as it was about crime. That statement does do the TV show a dis-service as the [...]

Movie Review - The Inside Man

When is a bank job not a bank job? That is the plot of a movie about a bank heist that perhaps is not all that it seems. A thriller with more than a few twists. Very enjoyable with a good cast and a few laughs along the way. A movie that would also [...]
