MOVIE REVIEW: Despicable Me (2010)

July 11th, 2010 by Film Pigs

The Film Pigs take a clearly intellectually superior special guest to a cartoon show. And the 3-D makes their hangovers much worse. (IMDb)

MOVIE REVIEW: Kick-Ass (2010)

April 20th, 2010 by Film Pigs

The Pigs curse their way through a review of the latest movie to get trumped at the box office by whatever is in 3-D.
