This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …

With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …

Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …

I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …

What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …

unerotic Paris Hilton deliver the …

From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …

I love the earlier Disney films, back when everything was put on cels and was hand-drawn and none of this CGI and computer animated stuff. This was back near the golden age of television and movie theaters. This particular film was the first Disney film to be made …

Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process.
