“Kung Fu Panda” is a 2008 animated film about Po, a fat noodle-selling Panda in China who loves kung fu and dreams of a more exciting life. It is a Dreamworks film, which means it has some decent animation but falls far short of a Pixar movie.

I was reading a book about writing screenplays and at one point it referred to the movie “American Beauty” as an example of a good fairly modern screenplay. However when I watched it for myself, I realised that it wasn’t just the screenplay that was good, but the entire movie.

The …

I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …

Even if explained like this, it might sound a little boring, it’s …

I watched Bridge to Terabithia ready to get bored and be repulsed with the little knowledge I have about the film. Thanks to false advertising (equivalent to the preview showing the CGI effects), my impression on the film beforehand was that it was going to be another-kiddy-fantasy knock-off.
Still, I …

I thought this was a pretty good movies for kids. I enjoyed watching it when I was younger. I don’t really care for it now that I am older but I still enjoy it to some point. It’s alright. It’s about these cats and dogs that get lost, there …

King Kelly of the U.S.A. was released in 1934 and actually had some entertaining moments. While it dragged here and there and was very vaudeville in spots, it still is pleasing to watch in today’s world.

The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …

What a cast! I can’t believe I’ve let some quality Paul Newman films slip by without seeing them. I’ve always enjoyed Newman; he was a favorite of mine since I first saw him as a little girl. Somehow, though, I’ve been remiss in not catching some …

I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …

It is a very rare situation that I cannot finish watching a movie. Especially a British one, and especially related to British classic authors. However, this is what happened with this one; I had surprised myself by being unable to finish even the first episode.

Spanglish is a very boring movie and it completely disappointed me in every which way. Adam Sandler is a good actor, though his brilliance in acting hasn’t been noticed at the beginning of his career. He gave us many good films like Big Daddy, Punch Drunk Love and many …

I don’t really get the whole basis of this movie. It goes too wide and gets way confusing the longer the movie progresses. Eve though it has a pretty straight forward and easy plot to follow, the direction of the whole movie has not been put together in a …

I like movies based on plays, they usually have more depth to them. A Doll�s House, 1973, starring Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom, is one such movie. Action fans will probably find it slow and boring, but I enjoyed the excellent performance by both leading actors. The story takes …

I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …

I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …

“Push” is a movie about people with powers. It’s set in a world where many people have powers that an secret agency has classified under terms like “pusher”, “reader,” “mover” and “eraser”. I was curious about this movie, even more so since it’s the first non-serious movie I’ve seen …

I would describe this recent release as nothing special but okay. While it is probably not going to become a beloved classic, this family-oriented movie is warm, clean, funny at times, and it tries to deliver a positive message. In a nutshell, a tough NFL football player too full …
