The Moonstone movie
The Moonstone is an whodunit motion picture that is actually intriguing. I pretty much enjoyed it from beginning to end. The interesting thing about that is that there’s nothing magical or outstanding about the plot.
At key moments, for example, each member of the cast gives that ‘I’m …
Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Seven Year Itch, movie (1955)
Despite over fifty years passing since her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of cinema’s most renown blonde bombshells. Her sex symbol status was no mystery to me. She had the look that would stop traffic. With Seven Year Itch, she gave film one of its most …

The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…

“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …

The director decided to go Vintage style and so this episode is black and white. Right from the start to the end,it is in black and white. Well not much of a difference actually,because the show does not sport bright colors,which is with keeping with the theme of the …
My Bill movie
Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.

The Book of Eli
