This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …
What Happens in Vegas, romantic comedy film
It is usually a safe bet to put Ashton Kutcher in a movie and see big numbers. The same goes for Cameron Diaz. What Happens in Vegas didn’t exactly change the way we view comedy movies, but it was enough to earn almost a hundred million dollars in box …
Ocean’s 13
Far better than Oceans 12, Oceans 13 is a fun movie. This movie is as filled with celebrity as all of the other two Oceans movies. Full of double and triple crosses, this is as much a move about conmen as robbery.
The problem that I have had with every …
A Real Young Girl (NR, 2001) movie
I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …

The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)

Blue Collar Comedy Tour
I am reviewing the video, Blue Collar Comedy Tour. This video captures the on stage/off stage moments of comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy.

Benjamin Button Movie
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though seemingly interesting, was a boring movie and a chick flick all the way. Why am I so blunt? Because the movie did not have any conflict, except some strange man versus nature conflict - in that he was growing older by growing …

The Fountain, Darren Aronofsky Movie
What was the essence of ‘The Fountain’, the film work of Darren Aronofsky (requiem for a Dream) is this? Search will be eternal life or melodrama about true love? I think, after witnessing film, is a combination of both and is not too bad.
Stories run parallel between Tomas (Hugh …

Mommy (2014 Canadian Drama Film)

101 Dalmatians 2 Patch’s London Adventure Movie

The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective.

127 Hours (2010 film)
2010 was the year of survival films. The best one was the Slumdog Millionaire’ award winning director’s following film, based on the actual, tragic and yet unevenly proud and awe-inspiring story of Aaron Ralston.

Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …

This movie premiered on The Disney Channel in 1988, but it is still one of the best movies that was ever shown on that network. Thirteen year Inge Dournenvald and Lise Mueller are best friends in Vienna, Austria. This is an amazing thing, because it is 1938, …
