Tazia R Even though the movie itself wasn't great, Vyto Ruginis was a stunner. He's so hot Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Audience Member This was really good. It was emotional and intense. Ended abruptly though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Audience Member This is one of my favorite movies. Delta Burke was awesome in this movie. Ryan went over board, but still a good movie. All I can say is, he lucky he didn't have a ghetto black mother... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Scary story about a mom who fears her son's rage. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm using this as a place holder for the movie Dangerous Men by director John Rad... yes John RAD. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the music (all created by John RAD), the editing (by John RAD) which featured background noise everytime someone talked or the action (just RAD)which can't be explained by words. Go see this movie, but be sure you are in the mood for cheese. 2008 Movies: 157 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's so hard to be a mother. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
