    It’s a tale as old as time: 

    Boy meets girl. 

    Boy, unsure how to cope with the emotions he feels when meeting girl, constructs a garishly-dressed and ridiculously handsome sociopathic best friend with a chiseled six-pack to form a basement-specific men’s-only club where one of the rules is you’re not allowed to wear a shirt.

Despite his daughter Joanna (Elizabeth Hurley) having a newborn baby…

    The academy award should go to Every Passing Second for bringing me closer to the closer of Closer. It sucks. This movie sucks. And I physically cringed so hard my jaw hurts. 

    The movie is a mess. It starts with Dan (Jude Law) staring directly into Alice’s (Natalie Portman) eyes from across a crowded street until she gets hit by a car. They get together but then Dan kisses Anna (Julia Roberts) who is a photographer but when she turns…
