The Last Legion

The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
Two for the Road: A Stanley Donen Film (1967)
This is definitely my favorite Stanley Donen film. I watched this movie last New Year’s Eve, and though, I was willing to let go of those bygone memories, I never could forget “Two for the Road.” Because I love Audrey Hepburn, there’s no other particular reason that …

The Eye
Most of the time, when I watch a so-called thriller, I find it to be more boring than scary. In fact, I usually find myself laughing at scenes that should be terrifying me.
This wasn’t the case with the movie The Eye. I have to say, after watching it last …
King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
Ice Age: Continental Drift movie
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …

American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …

I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …

Movie: You’ve Got Mail
“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …

Katie Leung as Cho Chang
I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …
