I have never read the Iron Man comic strips before. So, when the movie came out, I wasn’t sure what to think.

Robert Downey Jr. is great as a wealthy weapons developer who develops a conscience and …

Sliding Doors comedy

How To Train Your Dragon 3D

Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.

A Christmas Story

Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …
The Departed movie
Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
Batman Forever, movie
Val Kilmer’s time out as Batman isn’t a bad turn at the helm, but it’s certainly not as strong as the original 89 movie with Michael Keaton in the role. Still this film had a great caste, but it made the same mistake that has killed so many other …

Movie Ruby
Ruby is a very spooky and very demonic movie. If you get scared easily, then it’s better that you don’t watch Ruby. Ruby is about spirit mediums and demon possesion. It’s a very dark and sinister type of film. Another thing about it, is that it’s a very old movie …
Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie

The Family Man
I had an opportunity to watch the movie The Family Man last night. I have seen it before but it was the first time in a long while and I couldn’t remember much about the movie.

Basically, the …

Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …
Nim’s Island movie
So, yeah. This movie happened. Don’t. Watch. It. Please. The story is so atrociously terrible and the acting is subpar (other than Jodie Foster, of course.). Please.
