Review of Anaconda (1997)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 09 Jun 2009

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 31 May 2009

Review of The Terminator (1984)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 May 2009

Review of Terminator Salvation (2009)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 May 2009

Review of The Wedding Singer (1998)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 May 2009

Review of Bride Wars (2009)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 May 2009

Review of Wayne's World (1992)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 May 2009

Review of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 24 May 2009

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 23 May 2009

Review of Tango & Cash (1989)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 23 May 2009
