Instead of going straight into traditional origins and reboot territory, […]
Read more "Review: Sherlock Holmes"Leap Year is a conventional rom-com that makes all the prescribed moves and is entirely predictable; only its two likeable leads and excellent cinematography save it from being an absolute failure. Amy Adams and Matthew Goode are just to fine of actors to be in this trivial and run of the mill premise where the […]
