Reunited for the first time since the 2005 comedy hit Wedding Crashers, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson team up for a comedy about a couple of middle-aged guys trying to make it in a young person’s business world.

Review – The Purge

What if you could, literally, get away with murder?  And rape, and theft, and vandalism, and whatever else you feel like?  In the year 2022 that will all be legal.  Actually, given the fact that it’s mentioned that twelve or so year old boy is too young to remember life before “The Purge,” this new
