    Who ya gonna call?
  • Mad City (1997)
    Review preview for Mad City

    Despite same old same-old, the performances are interesting, the attack on media integrity spot on and the sentiments sweet as strawberry shortcake.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    A reporter sees a hostage crisis as a big break.
  • Murder She Wrote: Season 2 (1985)
    Review preview for Murder She Wrote: Season 2

    A fundamentally excellent show that very rarely stints in quality, always presenting a deliciously difficult puzzle in a pleasant, but exciting manner.

    Richard Mellor · 3 out of 5

  • Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)
    Review preview for Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

    Supported by only the most rudimentary of plot structures that is crumbling from the outset and a Funny or Die backbone of comic acting talent who really should have stayed on higher ground.

    Amber Wilkinson · 1.5 out of 5
    After two guys are given a billion dollars to make a movie, their Hollywood dreams run off course and they decide to rehabilitate a run-down shopping mall in an attempt to make the money back.
