Ted 2

The original Ted was an engagingly ribald comedy that worked in large part because the gimmick was fresh. After all, Teddy Bears, even on those rare occasions when they talk, don't normally curse, smoke weed, and engage in sexual pantomime. At th...

The Conjuring: Last Rites

Is this really the end of The Conjuring franchise? What began as a one-off haunted house movie in 2013 has since spawned sequels and spin-offs at a pace that would make other horror series envious. But as the creative spark faded and many of the o...

The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain

The title of this film, The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain, is so long that it can function as a plot synopsis in its own right. "The Englishman" in question is British cartographer Reginald Anson, played by Hugh Grant with...
