This is a comedy centered on three old museum guards who have come up with a plan to steal some of the best pieces of artwork on their museum as they are being transferred to another museum.

The three Roger (Christopher Walken), Charles (Morgan Freeman) and George (William H. Macy) who have been coworkers for the longest time come up with unique strategies to perfectly execute the robbery having met for the first time.

DVD Review: The Tournament

This is one movie that will keep you in suspense from the word go especially after the former champion Joshua Harlow (Ving Rhames) returns to the competition after being informed that one of the contestants this year is responsible for the murder of his pregnant wife.

By Kevin Makokha

Thirty of the world’s deadliest assassins are brought together in a credulous town where they are to kill each other for a cash prize of ten million dollars.

The killers have trackers surgically implanted in them so that they can track one another and eliminate their opponents in a time span on twenty four hours or else the trackers will explode and kill the remaining contestants.

By Annie Arogo

The first time I watched this show, I did not really understand why a beautiful young woman who had everything going for her would stay with a man who had bad luck as his shadow until I realized that whenever this man tried to please her and make her happy, that was when things went awry.

DVD Review: The War at Home

It is a nightmare raising children in this contemporary era where parents have been ‘there’ and done ‘that’ with the nightmare being that our children will do the same things we have done and maybe invent even more…

DVD Review: Til Death

Til Death is a humorous sitcom revolving around these two couples, who despite having very different lifestyles, they are in pursuit of one thing – love and harmony in the home and like fine wine, will the older couple show that marriage tastes sweeter the longer it lasts?

DVD Review: Til Death

So what happens the first time when people are married? Ask Jeff (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Steph Woodcock (Kat Foster), a couple who have been married for only 12 days. Everything is all rosy, colorful and the focus is on the moon that stirs the seeds of romance in couples.

DVD REVIEW: The Class

For years Friends dominated our screens, eliciting laughter from us even as we looked forward to the Tuesday nights slotted for it to air again with our ‘Friends’ lives being a subject of great fascination.

For years Friends dominated our screens, eliciting laughter from us even as we looked forward to the Tuesday nights slotted for it to air again with our ‘Friends’ lives being a subject of great fascination…well, with the class comes another sitcom that is both hilarious without raunchy sex jokes and unsurprisingly so as these two sitcoms have the same creator – David Crane

DVD Review: Brothers and Sisters

One thing I like about American Soaps is their unpredictability and interesting storylines that break all the rules of love and breakups while focusing on other equally compelling if not more pertinent issues.

TV Review: The Bernie Mac Show

An all time family favorite, the Bernie Mac Shows gives insight into one man’s unconventional parenting methods whose far fetched and backfiring ideas are bound to humor us.

By Annie Arogo

In the USA where it is was originally aired, the Bernie Mac show has had uncertain ratings, competing with more seasoned comedies until the show finally carved a niche for itself. In Kenya, Bernie Mac’s return is welcome as it has always been an all time favorite in the Kenyan household, a chance to view ‘America’s’ disciplining methods.
