Director: Steve Beck Starring: Julianna Margulies, Gabriel Byrne, Isaiah Washington Year: 2002 I saw that I should watch Ghost Ship if only for the first ridiculous five minutes, and that’s about as long as my willing attention lasted.

Movie Review – Stan & Ollie
Director: Jon S. Baird Starring: Steve Coogan, John C. Reilly Year: 2018 A more perfect tribute to past celebrity might not exist on the planet; Stan & Ollie may have just topped the list.
