Read more: Overtime (2011)Tagline: Working late was never this brutal Not many workers are fans of overtime, especially on the weekend, unless they desperately need the money. Well, Max and Raph were not your usual workers, as they were actually full time, highly paid assassins, and part time cake and clown conscriptors. So, what did you get when…

Scrooged

Read more: ScroogedScrooged is one of those “just can’t miss” films that came along with a fair amount of anticipation. Bill Murray seems to be perfect for playing the part of a Network Executive who robotically orchestrates his tasks, and that includes delegating who gets what Christmas present (VHS or a Towel).

Read more: A Christmas Carol (1938)At Ruthless, we have our heroes, the Arnolds, the Kinskis and Herzogs, but one of our favorite unspoiled characters is that of one Ebeneezer Scrooge.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E is a delightful 60’s time period movie from the great Guy Ritchie. Yep, he’s the guy that did Snatch, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking…
