by Neal "Petrodon" Leyendecker (Mon 11-24-2003)
It's a foregone conclusion that sequels suck. In fact, famed movie critic Leonard Maltin has said the worst thing you can do to a great movie is to try to make a sequel of it. Truthfully, I enjoy some sequels and hate others; it's a sad fact of li... Fox Adjusts 08 Lineup, 24 Postponed

by Abbie Bernstein (Fri 01-27-2006)
Let's start by supposing that most of the people inclined to see NANNY McPHEE are at least somewhat familiar with MARY POPPINS. It's not that NANNY McPHEE is based on P.L. Travers' creation in fact, the screenplay by Emma Thompson, who also plays the tit... Discovering Buried Treasure
