Movie Once
“Once” is a good musical movie, but could have been better if the shooting of this movie was more on a steady level. I personally watched this film at home and I am grateful because if I ended up watching it at the cinema, I definitely would have felt …
A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Paper Man Movie (2009)
I wouldn’t have heard of a movie like this normally, but I just finished watching the movie Buried with Ryan Reynolds where I was so impressed with the actor that I have decided to watch a few more of his movie. So I looked up in IMDB for some …
Big Fish movie

Disneyland Sing Along Songs: It’s a Small World

Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …
The Mummy film
I don’t know why I thought this, but I could have sworn the 1932 movie The Mummy was a horror film. I mean, it is advertised that way and stars Boris Karloff.
However, I tried to watch this movie yesterday with my daughter (she likes horror films but I try …
Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown
There is a brilliant spot in Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown. It’s actually a parody of the TV drama, Hill Street Blues. I recognized what was happening almost immediately. It surrounded Roxy (Jasmine Guy), who is a meter maid on the show. She …

Cross Creek movie
“Cross Creek” proves that Hollywood movie makers don’t always have to spend millions of dollars to make good films. This movie is based on an autobiographical book by novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who is best known for writing “The Yearling.” I don’t usually like Mary Steenburgen, but …

Rain in the Mountains (2007)
As movies go this is best viewed with plans of lobbing popcorn at the screen from time to time. The plot was shaky and the acting so bad it was amusing. However, it is not entirely without merit for a small subsection of the population living in the Pacific …
Blindness (drama movie)
I read a lot of bad reviews on the movie Blindness and I can completely understand why a lot of people weren’t satisfied with the movie. For one the movie is terribly hard to watch for multiple reasons and secondly, it doesn’t exactly have a very satisfying ending.

Howl’s moving Castle
Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation.
