Why Dexter is My Favorite Show on Television

What Happens in Vegas Movie Review

There is something innately rotten at the core of “What Happens In Vegas” which even the biggest of cynics would find distasteful. The setup is made of the same formulaic stuff that always emanates from the romantic comedy genre, only the characters and their motivations are despicable; this could have worked if done properly (just [...]
