Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right.

As is often the …

Tschick is a movie directed by director Fatih Akin based on a best-selling Young Adult novel Tschick (translated as Why We Took the Car in English). It’s a shame I cannot find a trailer for the movie with English subtitles even though the film is released with English subtitles. So …

Sucker Punch is one of those movies that you have to watch with an open mindset. The jest of this movie, for the most part, isn’t going to come to you quickly. To the plain eye, it looks like a fantasy chick flick with vivid graphics. I can be honest …

When this movie came out I really thought it was so low-budget and too corny. I didn’t know the director, I didn’t know the main cast, and I didn’t know what the point of the movie was all about. The trailer didn’t show anything much and the posters were …

When I saw the previews for Slither on TV, I thought it was going to be a good horror movie. After all, you can’t go wrong with slimy slugs that take over people’s bodies and turn them into zombies.
Unfortunately, the makers of the movie missed big-time and turned what …

“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.

This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …

The movie ‘Pinnochio’ made me feel really disappointed. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful has been my all time favorite. I watched Pinnochio hoping that it would be as good as Life is Beautiful but I was utterly disappointed. Not in comparison with Life is Beautiful but the movie Pinnochio …
