Conspicuous Trailer of the: The A-Team

Ok, I post this one for nostalgia sake really, as it's definitely not cinema's greatest moment. But growing up with less than 10 TV channels, The A-Team was one of the shows I watch regularly, along with MacGyver, Growing Pains, and 21 Jump Street (which reportedly is getting its own remake courtesy of British director …

Everyone’s a Critic Part 2: Reviews from FlixChatter Readers

It's Complicated by Becky (Prairiegirl) .... This is definitely the best baby boomer generation movie I've ever seen. I could relate to so many of the scenes it was scary! The audience was packed with them (including me), but quite a few older and many younger too. It keeps you in stitches throughout, especially the …
