Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus movie 2009

Dazed and Confused movie

Jerry Maguire
I must admit that, although Tom Cruise gives an excellent interpreation in the movie “Jerry Maguire”, I still have “Born on the 4th of July” as my favourite movie. What is so great about “Jerry Maguire” is that it relies totally on Tom Cruise in bringing out the best …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I have read this book, faster than any other books I have read because this is one book that I really enjoy; it is very light in story, a bit shallow if you are a very deep person, and just is the kind of book that you read for …
Sense and Sensibility movie
Based on the novel by Jane Austen. I have not read the book, so I don’t know how it compares to the book, but it is a wonderful movie filled with twists and turns, heartbreak, and of course, like all her novels, a happy ending. I plan on picking …

Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …

Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
